One of the most important parts of any quilt is the way in which it ends. While most people concentrate on the beginning of a quilt, the ending can be just as challenging. There are a number of ways to end one’s quilt, but here are just a few ideas that you may want to think about when it comes to making that very last stitch. Personalization: Why not place a label on your quilt that determines who made it (why, you, of course!), why it was made, and who it was made for. Since your quilt will last a lifetime, you will want all those that enjoy it to know all about your labor of love. Attaching your own, rustic, label is a fantastic way to finish off the perfect quilt. Bind the Ends: Who wants a quilt that has rough edges? Make sure to finish your quilt off properly by binding the edges together and keeping the whole thing smooth. Binding is easy to do, and it only requires a bit of your time. Borders: Go ahead and place a colorful, or solid, border around your entire quilt. This way, the center of your quilt will be your focus, and that carefully chosen pattern will truly stand out. Borders are also a way to add your signature touch to your quilt, so go ahead and get creative. You will have to finish your quilt in some manner, so why not combine all three tactics to make your quilt as fabulous as possible? A personalized label, a nice border, and some perfectly bound edges will really make your quilt a priceless work of art. After you have spent all that time creating your quilt, make sure that you finish it with a touch of quilting flair.
