After finishing the block portion of your quilt top, you might want to add a border to make it bigger or to frame your blocks. In this example, I'd like to add a 4" border around the entire quilt.
This can be quickly done in PreQuilt! You can keep repeating these steps to add up to 3 borders.
## 01 Adding a Border
1. Click on the **BINDING/BORDER** tab on the left side control panel.
2. Click on the '**Add Border**' button.
3. A 2" border will automatically be added around the entire quilt. Change the border to **4"** and **choose** a Color Tag from the dropdown Fabric menu for the borders color.
4. In this example, I'll keep it Color Tag A, which is also the background fabric.
## 02 Adding Additional Border(s)
1. Click on the **BINDING/BORDER** tab on the left side control panel.
2. Click on the '**Add Border**' button.
3. Another 2" border will automatically be added to the outside of the entire quilt. Change the **width** and **Color Tag** to your desired values.
* In this example, I've changed the Color Tag to Color Tag D.
