Over the years I HAVE noticed 'parts' available for
making quilt frames. IIRC, these were mainly the gears
and were sometimes wooden, sometimes metal. (I noticed
because I thought I'd ask DH to make a frame.) These
advertisements have been in back pages of quilting
magazines. Maybe we here in RCTQ Land can keep an eye
out for a recent ad, and post the info for you. HTH.

That would be great. I don't subscribe to any quilting mags (for
shame), but I do occasionally take a look at them when I cruise
through Barns & Ignoble and their magazine section. I will keep an eye
out for the parts adds and if anybody has a link to same I would
appreciate it.Thanks,,

If you were making one of these would you put a border on it or not.
I have enough fabric for a couple borders but that's not what interest
me. I'm interested in the look.

Borders yes no.

I put borders on mine. Actually, I used the borders from the Eleanor Burns
book with Nine Patch blocks in the corners.

I put borders on mine, too. A thin blue (to match the chain) and then a
white border (the other color in the chain) twice as thick as the blue.
I thought it turned out ok!

I don't always use borders - but most times, they serve to really frame
the quilt. And they just make it seem more ... finished and planned, in
my mind. But that's MHO.
