Nancy is continuing the Great Basics quilt with this tutorial to work on the borders. Catch the other episodes Nancy did for this series on the OnPoint-TV TH-cam channel.
The quilt has cornerstones and side borders. The top is complete with the nine patch blocks, setting squares, setting triangles and corner triangles. The stripes on the setting triangles and corner triangles bump up the uniqueness of the quilt.
Nancy spray sizes the quilt with Mary Ellen's Best Press and presses it flat and as square as possible. Then she goes to the next step of adding the borders.
This quilt has cornerstones so Nancy doesn't have to put one border on at a time. It makes it a little easier.
Join Nancy next time as she does the backing, the batting and the basting of the quilt.

Watching from Ireland
Hi Ireland :)
Thank you from Ohio.
Our pleasure!
Another great Tutorial
Glad you think so!
Love your videos from SE Kansas
Thanks for watching!
Thankyou

Thanks again!
Boston, MA
Your teaching is awesome... so glad I found you! And I love your comments about measuring and seeing differences in measurements! Makes me feel more positive about my quilting attempts!!
I am pretty much “self taught”.. if you want to call it that...by TH-cam and any other videos I can find. I never waste my time when I watch your videos. Thank you for caring about the quilting community and know you have so much to offer. Thank you!
Thank you very much Jacqueline :) - Nancy
1st time catching your channel. I am a new quilter and putting on corner stones for the first time. Thank you for your tips. Very helpful
I just love your channel! I always learn something new! I am a lone quilter so the online community is my lifeline. I can’t stress enough how informative your channel has been! Thank you sew much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Nancy you have helped me even though I have quilts. Amazing work on all your videos
I, too, am a lone quilter. I just now found this channel. I’m in Ohio.
@@SuperBeccajean it’s a great channel! Nancy is so fun and informative. These types of channels are a lifeline for us lone quilters! I’ve since managed to rope a friend into quilting now and it’s been fun watching her blossom. She’s really taking off!
I hope you are able to find some local group of like minded folks that can challenge and inspire you!
As a longarm quilter, borders are probably the one thing I see (even seasoned) customers struggle with. Now I have a great video to point them towards! Thank you so much for producing these tutorials. You’re a wonderful teacher!! Lori (from Montana)
Thanks for sharing!
Hi from greater Nashville area. Driven to finish quilt pieces left from my Great Grandmother. Threaded her needle when I was a child. Have made four quilts on my Singer but gave myself a Brother machine for retirement. Plenty of time to practice.
This lesson was just what I needed today. Thanks.
Wonderful!
I'm so glad I found you when I did. I've power watched many of your videos and refer back to some when needed. I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and no one in my family has quilted since my great grandmother that past away when I was a child. So everything I'm learning is from the ladies and gentlemen of TH-cam. I'm working on my very first quilt and having to break it down into quilting the center first then adding the borders. I'm using my domestic Brother and the quilt will end up being a queen. Thank you very much for doing the videos. They are so helpful. 😊
Thanks Karen. Sounds like your doing your quilt in the Quilt as You Go method? Have you checked out my videos on that technique?
@@QuiltingWithNancy Yes. I've missed a few videos but will be watching them later today. I've been spending time with my 84 year old mother the last few weeks. She is moving in with my daughter and son in law.soon.
Oh, how I wish this video was around when I started quilting. Could have saved a lot of frustration, seam ripping 😮 and learning the hard way. I like nest and precise sewing and really enjoy your teaching style. Planning to binge watch every video in this series! --With appreciation from Las Vegas.
You can do it!
Like it nancy
Thank you so much for doing a detailed step by step video. Other 10 minute videos on you tube leave you confused, and they say do the quilt any way you want. I like that you teach us to quilt with the traditional methods that really work, not make up as you go along. Great Video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Just in time. Will soon be sewing in the triangles on a queen size on point quilt, and then on to the borders. People like you are so generous with your knowledge to "lone" newbies like me. Thank you.
My Pleasure!!
Thank you!! I think you are the only one to describe and show to ease the borders. I’m not sure you explained why. I guess I’ll go watch again. I was told it was important. When long arm quilter refused to do quilts that were not eased to the same dimension. She said she could not do quality work otherwise.
Hi - if you do the measuring like I do in the video and pin, pin, pin and pin the border on, it will be eased and then your borders will be the same on either side :)
Your border instruction was great. I will not have trouble now. Thanks from NANCY in Lumberton Texas.
I am so pleased with this tutorial. I am making a Cinderella panel by Thomas Kincaid. I like to make them as hanging quilts. I am self taught through TH-cam tutorials. This tutorial helped me so much with putting the corner stones in the border. Now I am eager to go back and look at all of your tutorials. Thank you and yes you are a wonderful teacher! Robbin from Fairmont, NC
Thanks!
As an ever learning individual, your explanation and technique has been a God send! This technique will alleviate the "wavy" edges. Preparation is key and this technique is the best I've seen! Thank you so very much! I've repurposes my walking weights to help me with holding fabric and/or rulers.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Exactly what I needed to know. Explained so well!!
I just used your technique of going point to point on the edge of my churn dash quilt top I am making and it worked great - so glad you made a point of using a 12" ruler as I could see how you could easily be tempted to do a longer distance. Saw your video just in time as I wasn't sure how to attack it and this worked out great - thanks so much - your videos are so very helpful!!
Thanks!! I'm so glad it helped.
I love all of your tips and tricks!!! Thank you for sharing!!!❤️. Angela from Texas
Thanks for watching!
Nancy is always super cool!!!
I just love how you explain what you do and why you do it.
Thanks!

Thanks so much 😊
I love this video. Thank you so much Nancy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
In my 70s I decided to try quilting. When I found your channel I was ecstatic. I'm having so much fun that I've begun to learn ruler quilting as well. You are an excellent instructor. You make sense. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
Wow, what an impressive teaching style, very concise, informative, and down to earth. I just love your tutorials, thank you Nancy 😃💜🇦🇺

Thank you very much!
Am a first time quilter, love seeing how it is done, so informative watching in Belize C.A
Hi Nancy, love your tutorials! I have only been quilting for a few years now and your videos are my most saved and I share them with my fellow 'newer' quilters. Always look forward to the next installment. Your power cutting method has been a real boon as I tend toward quilt patterns with lots of cutting and pieces. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you and Thanks for sharing!!
I just found your channel this morning. I love piecing my quilts but always put off adding the borders. I really enjoyed this episode and will use your method on trimming and adding my borders. I’m now a subscriber from the beautiful state of Maryland. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!

Enjoying this series from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I love the pace and the precision. The techniques are wonderful. As a beginner, I would love to establish good habits. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
I’m sharing this vid with a dear friend who is trying to improve her piecing and quilting. She looks to me often for instruction. So thank you! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Im a new comer in quilt world
Learning a lot from you
My prayers for you
Stay well
Thanks for watching and let me know how i can help.
You are very good at what you do, if I keep following you I can’t help but end up being a quilter. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍❤️😊
You can do it!
Watching from Indian Land, SC, enjoy your tutorials. 🙋♀️💕
Awesome! Thank you!
I've finished two complete quilts and one top. I wish I had found these tutorials earlier. I figured out a lot of things along the way, but I would have saved myself much time and difficulty if I had seen these from the beginning. However, I have learned many new things from these, as well. I really like your precise and thorough way of teaching!
You are so welcome! Thanks!
Watching from Ontario Canada
Watching from Texas
Nancy I am just learning to quilt via TH-cam videos and yours by far have been the most straight forward and informative! You are an excellent teacher and I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you!! BTW I’m from Baxley, Georgia
Thanks Karol :)
Hi Nancy! I’m loving this version for teaching beginners to make such a cute quilt! I have two friends who are interested in learning, one who knows how to use her machine, but doesn’t have any quilting experience, and one who doesn’t have knowledge of either. This series is perfect for them. I continue to share this series hoping to gain some new quilting friends! 🙂
Thanks Mary - I know I can always count on you!!
Hi Nancy I’m from bear Lake Michigan and I love your tutorials. Sharon Morris
Thanks so much - I have never been to Bear Lake - is it in the UP?
I am from nearby Valley Forge, PA. I have learned so much from your programming. Today's episode of using the smaller ruler to cut 1/4" away from the points of the edges makes perfect sense. I cannot tell you how many cut off points I've tolerated. Done is better than perfect was once my idea too. But now I can do better.
Excellent!! Learning something new all the time, that's the trick :)
Using the smaller ruler does make life so much easier.
Thanks so much, I learned a lot as a new quilter
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your very informative and clear videos. I have learned all I know about quilting from such videos and yours are the best. I do have a request for a video on how to make a patchwork border, and how to prepare it for attaching to the quilt and tips on doing it. I have a patchwork border but am not sure it will fit neatly and don't know whether I should starch it or just keep it stretchy so I can make it fit. Watching someone do this would be great. Thanks again.
Hi Ragath :)
Thanks for the kind works and for watching!
Doing a pieced boarder is a very specific task depending on the border and the quilt center. Spray sizing it will ALWAY be a good idea through. Sometimes you might even need to add an inner border to make the quilt center the correct size.
Hello Nancy! Cindy from New Hampshire. :)
Hello!!
I AM IN TENNESSEE
Я живу в Украине и смотрю вас!Спасибо за мастерство!
Thank you so much for watching!! And you might be surprised to know i have been to Ukraine 5 times!! It has been about 5 years. I have a friend in Odessa that is in full time ministry there and i have come to help her with Vacation Bible School for the kids at her church. It is wonderful!!
Большое вам спасибо за просмотр! И вы можете быть удивлены, узнав, что я был в Украине 5 раз !! Прошло около 5 лет. У меня есть подруга в Одессе, которая работает там на полную ставку, и я приехала, чтобы помочь ей с Библейской школой для детей в ее церкви. Это чудесно!!
What can I say ANOTHER GREAT ! Info session
Love that red and blue....that person in front of the TV! Did you peak in my windows....lol...watching from Ontario Canada, just north of Toronto.
Excellent info. Donna H
Thanks for watching!
I was so happy to see someone else stitching over pins by just slowing down. I have done that for years and thought I was the only one.
We are Kindred Spirits then :)
LOVE this BASIC info. SO HELPFUL. Happy that I stumbled on to you. Could you redirect me to where I could find the video to completing quilt? Have NOT been successful in finding it. Have a friend wanting to learn quilting and a complete series would be appreciated.
Julianna Burgess We are not quite finished with the series yet. Please subscribe to my channel and bop the little bell to be notified when we post the next video. I will be doing the backing and basting next and then completing the quilt. Stay tuned. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thank you for another great video . You always explain things so well x
So nice of you
Ooops forgot to leave where i am watching from.. North Dallas Texas.. Howdy Ya'll
I am not new at sewing, but fairly new at quilting. I know consistency is key, but why a scant 1/4”? Why not a 1/4”? Just found you and it is timely. Finishing an ISpy quilt and decided to put in cornerstones.
Hi :) - the "scant" is what allows the fabric to be pressed over the thread and keep the construction accurate. In garment making this tiny bit isn't an issue but in quilt piecing where many blocks with seams need to all come together to make the blocks the correct size it is necessary. Hope this helps - Nancy
No Nancy we are 19 miles north of Manistee
My borders have elbows. Do I cut additional fabric or fix the elbow?
Hi Doreen, honestly I’m not sure what you mean by elbows can you send me more information to my email address a QuiltingwithNancy@gmail.com
Michigan you say....?
Yep - Beautiful Grand Rapids!
I did everything wrong...ug......thanks.......waving to you from Michigan
Why take off 1/4”? Why not just the dog ears ?
I take off the extra a 1/4" past the corners of the blocks - that way the border lines up right next to the corners of the nine patch blocks - that's the look I like :) - Nancy
