Several of us are thinking of perhaps making a quilt called Affairs of the Heart, (by Aie Rossmann). It's striking, with applique blocks worked on a black background. To assemble, Aie used three narrow borders, finished width, 1in.

Can anyone suggest where I might be able to find a selection of Border Prints? My first thought was to look at Jinny Beyer's site, but a lot of hers sadly seem to be out of print, and those that weren't didn't seem to lend themselves very well.

Are you looking for fabric that has 'stripes' that can be cut to make a neat looking border? If that is the case I would look at the manufactures first to see if you see anything you like then search your LQS online to see if they have it. There are a lot of this type of fabric out there, but it is usually included in a line. I know El has designed several for her fabric lines. She does not label them 'border' prints so you will have to just look through her lines. Her site is http://www.quiltinaday.com/default.asp I just did a quick look and did not see anything that jumped out at me. Maybe somebody else will have a better idea for you.

I googled the title - it looks stunning

Try www.quiltshops.com. Type in border prints and hit Search. I found over 82 shops that sell some kind of border print.

Amazon has the book and you can look at some of the inside pages.
Several of us are considering starting a self help thread after the Dear Jane quilt is finished. Care to join us?

No swaps or anything, you would just make your own quilt, but with online members sharing info etc.

Thanks Sandy, I'll try that in the morning.

Just popping in so I'll get the thread and info. Anyone who would like to think about doing this quilt with us...feel free to jump in! It will be awhile until we get started up as a group since we would all like to finish our Jane Stickle quilts..scheduled to finish in May 2011. So we'll start this quilt after that..plenty of time between now and then to think about it, plan and gather your fabrics.

I am also working on that pattern. I thought I would cut strips of fabric for the borders and embriodery on them with my machine. I look for places to use my Pfaff because i like to "play" with all the stitches.
