Want to make your quilt look really special - piece the border. This book has quick piecing techniques to make complicated borders that are actually very quick and easy to rotary cut and stitch. Great for the beginner, intermediate or advanced quilter.

The illustrations and directions in this book have taken the mystery out of the puzzle of pieced borders. The same way Simply Quilts broke down the mystery and showed us the magician's secrets, we can now get past solid 4" strips of fabric for our borders.

When making a quilt, I'm usually so anxious to get the quilt done that I don't spend time to make a nice border. But this book changed my mind about that. It's full of border possibilities with clear instructions.

I never knew their were so many wonderful boarders on quilts. All the examples are explained in great detail and easy to understand and follow. A truely a must have book for all quilters.

Like my title said this is a great book. With it on your shelf you don't need a lot of other books. I love using it and my quilts with pieced borders turn out nicer because of it. I highly recommend it to all quilters.

I love this book! There are so many wonderful ideas for pieced borders, and the instructions seem to be pretty clear on how to make them. I am going to try a braided border for a quilt I'm working on now. This book has gotten me excited!

This book came earlier than I expected and was in excellent shape. Exactly as described.

I have never used striped piecing in quilting. I am an old fashion scrap quilter. I know there are those that buy their fabrics so they always have enough. There is a lot of waste with the authors method. I intend to use this on baby quilts I am a firm believer in piecing the border. My way is tedious and I am looking forward to speeding up the process. A few colored pictures mostly black and white drawings. You still have to determine your pattern size.
