1. Fold and mark with pins the center of the quilt top’s outer edges on all four sides.
2. Place a border strip parallel to the side of the quilt. Fold under the top corner at 45°.
3. With the border strip and quilt right sides together, carefully pin the border to the quilt stopping at the center pin. Fold the unpinned segment of the border strip over and press at center pin forming a 90° fold. Trim the excess length leaving the pinned strip 1˝ longer than necessary for the seam allowance. Repeat this process with another border strip for the other end of the quilt side.
4. Bring the center of the strips together and sew. Press seam open. Trim excess fabric.
5. Repeat the process for the remaining side, top and bottom edges of the quilt.
