Borders & Finishing Touches
Quilt borders are meant to complement the quilt, not detract from it. Offering a brief introduction to the history and development of quilting borders and then a quick overview of quilting designs and techniques, Browning (Ribbons and Threads, American Quilters, 1996) covers only borders, acknowledging that some quilts are better off without borders altogether. The bulk of the book is a gallery of 17 examples, with instructions and templates; arrangement, balance, and color are all addressed. Interesting in focus and well arranged, this book will appeal to intermediate and experienced quilters. Recommended for all collections.?KECopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
