How many people can a new quilter "infect" while she is contageous? Honestly, it's like the POX (but GOOD!)

Do quilts always need a an inner and outer border or any border at all? What would determine that?

Does this help?

I thought of doing just that. Glad to know that I others have made this same goof.

I'd also like a copy of book. good luck! You have some good ideas brought up here.
