Floating Stars Quilt with Borders

Adding Borders and Binding

I often add a very dark, narrow border to my quilts first to frame their interiors, then follow up with one or more wider borders.

Border width is up to you, but I like for the largest border to be about 2/3 - 3/4 the width of a block. Experiment with the width and number of borders to see what looks best with each quilt.

When you're ready, sew on the borders and finish the quilt as desired.
