I am nearly finished with the quilting on my Pat Sloan's Never Enough Chocolate sew along quilt.
Instead of using a solid fabric for the border, I pieced a border from 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangles:
After switching to yellow thread, I used my Handi Quilter Mini Scallop ruler with Handi Grip to quilt an X through each rectangle. I made sure to have my Xs cross a quarter-inch inside the edge of the border so that I wouldn't cover the points with the binding. I've made that mistake before and didn't want to repeat it!
