Borders on a quilt are not just for traditional quilts!
Often a border cut from the background fabric can make blocks look like they are floating on the quilt top.
Take my Double Dash Quilt, there are borders of the background fabric around the double churn dash blocks.
Borders can make or break the size and shape of a quilt top. Absent a measure, measure, measure and average technique for determining the length of a border can result in "wavy"borders. A wavy border results in a quilt top that is anything but square.
Save yourself and perhaps your long armer some grief and take the time to apply this technique when adding borders to your quilt top.
