Lessons in Creativity | Jenny Kae Parks | Runtime (14 min)


The pattern for Whirlpools calls for a green inner border and blue outer border. In this episode, Jenny auditions different fabric choices for both borders. She places small, medium, and large scale prints and light, medium, and dark prints in both positions to show different effects. Once the borders are in place, the color of the binding can match the outer or inner borders, or any other fabric in the quilt. Jenny also shows how to measure the length to cut the borders and how to pin and sew them on for best results.
