SETS &BORDERS
by Marston &Cunningham, AQS

I have had this book a long time. It has lots of good photos, border ideas and charts for planning them. I have found it inspirational and helpful.

QUILTER'S ALBUM OF BLOCKS AND BORDERS
Jinny Beyer

Great black and white illustrations of blocks to give you ideas for blocks and the shading of the blocks. (re: question on black and white quilts).

BRAID &CHEVRON UPDATED
by Camille Remme
ME Publications Santa Monica, CA 1993

45 variations of making braid and chevron borders from one traditional pattern.

PAINLESS BORDERS
by Sally Schneider

This book presents 16 cleverly designed quilts and borders in which the border is pieced along with the quilt. My favorite is the twisted ribbon border which looks like a double sided twisted ribbon cascading along the border. She provides lots of suggestions for clever and fast cutting/piecing.
