Finish the Mystery Medallion Quilt
We're almost finished with the mystery quilt. Add the pieced border first.
- Sew seven pieced border blocks together side by side. Press seam allowances either direction. Repeat to make another 7-block border.
- Sew nine pieced border blocks together side by side. press seam allowances either direction. Repeat to make another 9-block border.
- Sew a 7-block border to one side of the quilt. Press seam allowance towards the plain border. Repeat on the opposite side of the quilt.
- Sew a 9-block border to one of the remaining sides. press seam allowance towards the plain border. Repeat on the final side of the quilt.
Add Two More Borders
Sew two more plain fabric borders to the quilt. My example repeats the rust fabric used in the center medallion first, followed by a repeat of the dark brown fabric. The quilt is bound in the darker green.Use my easy border instructions to measure for borders and to match them to your quilt. The pieced border probably brought the quilt into square, but if it didn't, the final two borders are a perfect opportunity to do that.
Press the quilt and mark for quilting if necessary. Sandwich, quilt and bind.
