Edge To Edge Quilting: Enjoy A Different Design There are many terms in quilting that many individuals may not be aware of unless they are actually an expert or have done their research in advance. One of these terms, for example, is edge-to edge quilting? It refers to the idea of one pattern literally going from edge to edge. There are repeated patterns that go from one edge to the other, whether that is up and down or top to bottom. There may be one pattern in edge to edge quilting or several, but the pattern dictates the term is applied regardless.
