Strip quilting border help, please?
I have just finished putting together a queen size scrappy string quilt for my sister. When making my squares I used an old sheet as foundation fabric. I like this better than paper piecing as I like the stability it gives the quilt. I want to use scraps for the border as well, but don't know if I'm supposed to use a foundation for them. There are lots of leftover 4 inch long strip pieces I could use and think that if I just sew them together the borders will feel "flimsy" compared to the rest of the quilts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I did a scrappy recently and used muslin under the individual squares. I didn't use the muslin under the sashing or the border and it turned out fine. However, if the whole top has a foundation under it, you might want to put it under the border too. Good Luck!
