    what is your favorite border. I enjoy quilting the blocks, but the borders always challenge me

    my favorite is a leaf pattern with curvy lines to connect. the design is very forgiving

    It depends on how I've done the rest of the quilt. I'll choose a border design that goes with the rest.

    Beadboard is like piano keys only you alternate with a thin spacing between the lines and a wide spacing. In this quilt the very outer border and the background quilting on the next area in is beadboard
