2023 Quilt Along - Adding the Borders

We only have one more step (okay, two if you include binding) and our 2023 quilt along will be finished!    This step is going to be the quickest of the quilt along, but adding on borders to match the sashing finishes off the quilt nicely. After you add the borders, you'll just need to bind it and you'll be done and ready to use your quilt. If you don't want to add borders, you can skip this step, trim the backing and batting to match the quilt top, and bind. Miss a month? Head to the main quilt along...
