Mitered Borders
| Add at least twice the border width to the border lengths instructed to cut. Center and sew the side borders to the quilt, beginning and ending stitching 1/4" from the quilt corner and backstitching (Figure 1). Repeat with the top and bottom borders. |
|
 |
| Fold and pin quilt right sides together at a 45-degree angle on one corner (Figure 2). Place a straightedge along the fold and lightly mark a line across the border ends. | |
 |
| Stitch along the line, backstitching to secure. Trim seam to 1/4" and press open (Figure 3). | |
