We’re closing in on the end of Quiltmaker‘s Back to School Party! Today’s Step 5 will guide you to add the borders to your quilt center.
Dozens of Daisies Part 5
Sew the border #1 strips together and cut into 2 lengths of 51″ for the sides and 2 lengths of 43″ for the top and bottom. Sew the border #1 side strips to the quilt and trim any extra length. Add the border top and bottom strips in the same way.
Sew the border #2 strips together and cut 2 lengths of 55″ for the sides and 2 lengths of 50″ for the top and bottom. Add border #2 in the same way as border #1.
Today’s featured fabric sponsor is Red Rooster Fabrics.
This quilt is made from Super fabrics by Gudrun Erla for Red Rooster Fabrics.
Dozens of Daisies in Super fabrics by Gudrun Erla for Red Rooster Fabrics. Quilt designed and made by Joanie Holton and Melanie Greseth of TailorMade by Design.
If you’d like to use these Red Rooster fabrics, they are in stores now. Here is how we named them:
fabric #1 5/8 yard medium blue print
fabric #2 5/8 yard brown print 1
fabric #3 5/8 yard red tone on tone
fabric #4 1/2 yard light blue print
fabric #5 5/8 yard peach tone on tone
fabric #6 1/2 yard white print
fabric #7 1 yard brown print 2
fabric #8 5/8 yard orange tone on tone
And now to the giveaway! Red Rooster has provided three fat quarter bundles for lucky readers. We have batting and thread for some of the winners, too. Because Red Rooster is a fun name for a fabric company, we’re going to ask you to make up a name for a pretend fabric company. Leave a comment here by midnight Thursday, Sept. 15 with the name of your imaginary fabric company and we’ll randomly pick three winners.

I think a fun name would be “Whistles and Jelly Beans”. It’s a tad bit whimsical and reminds us of carefree fun days.
Great topic! My fabric company would be named Ultimate Threads.
I think “Colorful Dreams” would be a great name…. There is lots of color and can reach a lot of dreams….
The name I came up with is “Daydreaming Fabrics”.
My fabric company would be called “Mother Hen & Her 3 Chicks”. Decades ago this was the CB handle we used when my mother, my sisters and I took a summer road trip to visit my aunt. It has stuck with us ever since.
Colorful cottons, etc.
I just thought of a better name than the last name I came up with , it’s “Confetti Fabrics” because there are lots of colours in confetti.
How about Jewel City Designs?
I would name the company Fantasy Fabrics.
My fabric company would be named would probably be named Heritage Fabrics because I feel a part of a community of sewers.
I would call mine “More Fabric Please”
How about “Can’t Resist Fabrics”
My fabric company would be called Whispering Fields.
I also think “Add to Your Stash Fabrics” would be good.
I’d call it Bolt! (you have to have the exclamation point). It’s a fun play on words and it has multiple meanings. 1) Fabric comes on bolts–of course. 2) Don’t walk; don’t run… bolt to the store! 3) So excited about this new fabric it’s like being struck by a bolt of lightning…
This may sound old-fashioned but I would call my fabric company “Yard Goods Fabrics”
‘Love Fabrics’ because we do
I am not good with coming up with names. How about “The Fabric Merchant” (or Mercantile). I don’t know. Like I said, not creative at all.
Love the colors, my dream fabric company would be named “Sew Goods”.
I guess I’d name it after my quilting friends. When we get together to sew, we call it “Sew Therapy”
My fabric company would be called “Got To Have It!”
MY FABRIC COMPANY WOULD BE CALLED “SEW BRIGHTS”.
THANKS SO FOR SHARING!
I think “Fabulous Fabrics” would make a fantastic name.
SInce I live near Macon, Georgia, my company would be “Macon Sew Many Memories.”
well, If we have a red rooster, we need a “Little Red Hen”.
How about “Happy Zone Fabrics”
Hmmmm. Threads to Dye for.
I would call my fabric company “In the Muse”.
How about Memory Lane Fabrics or Magical Memories Fabrics.
Mine would probably be something like “Colie’s Creations”
Cute fabric!
I just keep thinking up more names, I can’t seem to stop myself. How about “Masterpiece Fabrics”.
I would name it The Ultimate Fabric Company.
How about Misty Mountain Fabrics?
My pretend fabric company would be named “Sew Fun Fabrics”
How about “Sew Sweet Treats” ?
I think I’d name mine Vicki’s Hideaway Fabric Shop. I’d have a little corner where everyone could have coffee and hide out from the stress of the day and relax, and of course, give their latest secret how they get all their newest fabric purchases into the house without anyone seeing. Then they could go shopping for all their fabrics which, of course, they’re going to take home to ‘hideaway’ from their hubby to avoid the ‘how much did you spend THIS time’ questions. LOL
My fabric would be called Cottage Cove Fabrics! I love anything with a cottage, and we live on the cove, so that brings me right back home
Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
Not very creative, the best I can come up with is Country Garden Fabrics. Linda
My fabric company name would be…My Fabric Obsession!
I would choose “Therapy Works Fabric Co.” As long as I have a project to do or to think about or to work on, there can’t be a worry in the world!!
My name would have to be “Fabricholics, Inc.” because we just can’t get enough fabrics.
Think I would call my fabric line Future Scraps as that is basically what all fabrics are! I have een a fan of Red Rooster fabrics for several years and love the whimsy of the designers who think more like magic fairies dancing in the dewy grass!
I think I would name it “endless cotton dreams”!
My imaginary name would be “Make it with Fabric”. This also includes quilters, dress makers, decorating skills & etc. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I loved all the names…some very creative ones.
If I had a fabric company I think I would name it “Sew New” Fabrics
My fabric name would be Meadowbrook…and oh the fabrics I’d create!
How about Galaxy Fabrics – they are out of this world! Thanks so much!
And now you got me started: Powerhouse Fabrics; Full Steam Fabrics; Skedaddle Fabrics,… ok, I better stop now.
Imagination Fabrics – which can be used for anything you can imagine!!!!
In keeping with a farm trend, suggestion is Mama Cow Fabrics (MCF for short) =OR= Chick Fabrics.
My dear little grandson couldn’t say Grammie, instead called me Mamaw and he still does at 14….so I will name my company Mamaw’s Material Haven.
Love Red Rooster fabrics…their look and their feel.
How about “Cotton Candy” or maybe “Quilter’s Eye Candy”?
Whenever I buy new fabric, I feel like I want to throw it on my bed and roll around in it like a puppy and wrap myself up in it. Additionally, I feel like my quilts are giving hugs to the people I love whenever they use them. So I think I would just call my fabric company “Huggable.”
I think I would call the Fabric Company Sweet Dream Fabrics. Fabrics that you would dream about and quilts you would dream under.
T and A Quilts…for me and my mom, Terri and Angie (duh…what were you thinking when I said T&A???)
My company name would have to be “Feeding Frenzy Fabrics” as that’s what it feels like sometimes when I say I’ve done enough and then I read a blog, or see a sale, or a color combination that I could never find before and then this new line or that new line…as you can see, it goes on and on!
I would name my collection Cozy Quilt, and the fabrics would all be a warm vintage and traditional prints and colors.
Keeping with the spirit of fun and creativity a line of fabrics should be “serendipity fabrics”.
I would call my company “SEW SWEET”
I’d call my fabric company Blackberry Pond.
I would name my fabric company after the river near where I grew up — Stillwater Glen. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’d go with Too Much Fun.
Presenting the new line from “She Sews” (and I would be thrilled beyond description if Ricky Tims used some of it),
or, morphing off of another entry “Hugs by the Yard”.
Most of us probably craved the 64 box of Crayola crayons as kids. I think fabric and thread are the adult version of crayons! Because of branding and copyright issues, one couldn’t use that name, so I’d name my shop “Quilters’ Crayons”!
“Woven Perfection” might work for my imaginary fabric company.
thanks!
I’d go with “Simple Stitches.”
Mine would be Fabric Fantasies
I thought about opening a fabric shop a few months ago–”Greenberry Street.”
I think I’d go with “Tiger Mountain Textiles” since I live on Tiger Mt.
Think I would have to call mine “scrap-aholics unlimited and no cure in sight!”
Also, I would like to have one called “The many colors of the seasons” for those who live where the seasons don’t have the gorgeous color changes of the area north of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the great plains!
I would name a company PuddleJumpers and it would specialize in fabrics for children.
I’d call mine Edgewood Fabrics, since that’s the town I grew up in.
My name would be “Bolts and Bundles”!
I thought of several ideas for a new fabric company but my favorites are Sew Much
Fabric , Quilting Sisters, Scrap Basket, and Sew Creative.
Mine would be Butterhill Needlework. Named after my grandparents house in NH

Kitchen Sink Fabrics.
I think… Rainbow Fantasy! I love rainbows and bright colors.
I would name my fabric company “the ROOST”. After all, everyone who sews,quilts,plans and creates always needs to come home to ROOST and regroup !
