Adding borders - help!
I normally sew two pieces of border together if they are longer than the quilt, measure the quilt in three places, average the number, pin the border so the seam is midway between top and bottom.
I'm starting a mystery quilt and she says to sew all the border pieces together so you have one long border. My question? If you do it that way, don't you have the seams showing up in different places on each side of the border? I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, because I think I've confused myself even more!

I do that and I have less waste with the border fabric. If you sew them all together in one long piece, then measure and cut the desired length. I don't worry about if the border seams are centered. I think they are not a noticeable if they are in different places...depending on the print of the fabric.
