In this third book, the authors have created many innovative foundation border patterns with simple, no-math string piecing, as well as borders made of strips, squares, triangles, blocks, and block segments. The section on built-in borders explores designs made by extending blocks into the border, by completing a secondary design where two blocks meet, and by using recolored whole or partial blocks. The reader will also find a handy summary of paper foundation piecing techniques and about 30 full sized border patterns. A collection of photos of more than 50 quilts with successful foundation pieced borders will inspire quilters to explore new options.
