Above is a quilt from the Asheville show. I wasn't crazy about the actual quilt, but the border really caught my eye. I have been pondering on how to make a border for my spool quilt from many a month ago. Could this be the answer to my plea?? Anyone have instructions for such a border? I would like it to be scrappy (of course). Any assistance is welcome.

I just took a bargello class. You will have to give us a tutorial if you figure it out.
I agree, that border is stunning as well as the stunning center. It IS a lovely quilt.
I'm guessing you can strip piece the border pieces FIRST, then cut them at different increments - I'll bet this quiltmaker did it that way, with some waste. In fact, the longer I look at it, I'm sure she did it that way! Oh great, I just figured out how to do it with strip piecing!!! But her swag effect is pretty impressive! I wonder if she started in the corners or the center of the block, but that might make the corners different. ???? 8-))) The figuring might take some time but with your experience, I bet you can do it.
