Sewing borders To find the correct length for a border and to square up a quilt, measure through the center length of you quilt top. Use this measurement for the cut length of your borders. To apply the border - pin the center of the border to the center of the border edge, pin the ends and stitch the border to the quilt top edge. Continue measuring through the center of the quilt top as you stitch on each border.

Quilt for the Cure Did you know.... Did you know...one of the origins of quilting attributes the development of what appears to be quilted clothing used to protect soldiers from the chafing caused by heavy armor and to provide warmth during the Crusades. Another theory suggest that quilting may have begun as far back as the times of ancient Egypt based on Egyptian sculptures showing figures which appear to be wearing quilted clothes.
