Swag Borders

 

Recently noticed this swag border anchored by hearts

in a mid-19th-century quilt in an online auction. I

 hadn't seen that border with the hearts before.

Notice it's only along one side; on the other three sides

 the swag is pinned with a circle.

Print this pattern out for a 9" swag.

That could be useful.

I've got a small idea file for scalloped/swag borders:

Some of which have odd numbers of scallops.

And some even.

Double scallops

Seamstresses in Baltimore often added a dogtooth appliqued edge.

What sewing show-offs they were!
