elkayr Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 what's a good quilt design for a pieced piano key border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Depends on the quilt but don't be afraid to "go outside the lines." Sometimes I just SID, sometimes I SID and then fill in every other one, sometimes I do a feather border, or even do a geometric design such as diamonds or squares. I try to use something from the middle of the quilt if I can or do a treatment that will compliment the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyT Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I've had great results with just stitching 1/4" on both sides of the seam (no stress to SID that way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 You can SID one, then stitch lines 1/4" or 1/2" apart on the next one, providing there are the right number of "keys" to make it work. It creates a bead board type of effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have done a squiggly line down the center of each of the blocks, no marking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
