I doesn't matter how well you piece your quilt, if the borders and binding are poorly done, the beauty of your quilt will suffer.

This book gives you easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for doing borders and bindings that will help make your work an heirloom.

This book is a must for all beginner/intermediate quilters.
