Tips, Tricks, and Techniques

Tafta Watson and Karen Jordon talked about borders. They had a Border Quiz that everyone participated in.

Karen reviewed the Fibonacci Sequence when making borders. She had a handout to help determine the sizes of borders needed for a quilt to be visually appealing.

Tafta demonstrated two ways to add borders with triangles, slanted piano keys, and interesting corners. She displayed two of her quilts with these techniques.

Members were asked to share quilts they had made with interesting borders. The following are quilts shared by different members.

Show and Share

Ellen Harmon made this Minecraft-and-other-games quilt for her grandson. Any gaming grandson would love this quilt.

Denise Rohbock

Denise showed us a "Hug" that she made and quilted. She donates these beautiful shawls to patients undergoing chemotherapy. They help to keep them warm.

Denise will show us how to make these "hugs" if you would like to donate.
