A Note About the Border


Fabric collections are designed almost a year before they are shipped to fabric shops, and designing quilt kits for a fabric collection happens fairly early in the long process.  Since the time this quilt kit was mocked up for Connecting Threads and the quilt kits were finalized, the Summer on the Porch quilt pattern has been updated with a narrow border in all quilt sizes.  The quilt pattern available in my shop includes this border, but the quilt kit and pattern available at Connecting Threads does not include this border.
