Scalloped Quilt Edges Made Easy

Use the Same Ruler and Technique to Make Scallop, Wave and Vine Quilt Edges!

Have you ever considered a scalloped edge for your quilt but been reluctant to give it a try? It can be scary to think about cutting into your gorgeous nearly-finished quilt to create a scalloped edge. Fortunately, it’s easier than it may seem and the right ruler makes it foolproof.

In the following video Jenny from the Missouri Quilt Company walks you through every step. She recommends the Scallops, Vines and Waves Template ruler from Quilt In A Day. It comes with excellent instructions to help you determine size and placement of your scallops so they come out even (so much easier than trying to trace around a bowl!).

Once you have marked and cut the scalloped edge, you’ll need bias binding to finish it off. Our How to Make a Continuous Bias Binding article has a video by Jenny showing you a super easy way to make bias binding strips.
