Borders, Bindings & Edges: The Art of Finishing Your Quilt

By Susan Lark - January 25, 2006

This is a wonderful reference book for quilters of all skill levels who want to turn out beautiful, heirloom quality quilts. Although the book is geared to the construction of small rather than bed-size quilts, the principles covered by Ms. Collins are applicable to all quilts regardless of size. The book is filled with photographs and illustrations, yet it is more of a "how-to manual" than an inspiration book. The writing is clear, concise and to-the-point. The quilt photos used are all designed to illustrate one or more of the techniques or principles taught. The book is also laid out so that one can find information on specific topics quickly and easily. It even includes an index. This book is not set up to be a project book (one that includes projects designed to help teach the techniques covered). However, I think it would be very useful to make several small quilts that utilize Ms. Collins techniques before applying them to a larger quilt or a more important project.

Quality and artistry all in one

By P. Wales "pamw23" - January 18, 2007

This is a fabulous book for someone interested in improving the quality of their patchwork and creating the visual artistry we admire in award winning quilts. It is not for the "do-it-quicker" crowd. The skills and techniques take practice and time - but precision and high quality will be your reward.

I also strongly recommend Ms. Collins' book "Mastering Precision Piecing" - which complements the information in this book. Both books are "keepers" and welcome additions to my library.

Note: this is not a book of "projects," but a book about how to design and create beautiful, balanced borders and bindings for YOUR quilt.

finishing . . .aaaaah

By Debbie Golden - November 3, 2006

Every project lurks around in my sewing room till it is completely finished. I was inspired to complete several more of my quilts after seeing the methods used in this book. Very thorough and great pictures.
