There are many different patterns available for quilts without borders. Some of the most popular include:

• Log cabin quilts: These quilts are made by sewing together strips of fabric in a log cabin pattern. They can be made in any size or color combination, and they're a great way to use up scraps.
• Jelly roll quilts: These quilts are made by sewing together strips of fabric that have been pre-cut into 2 1/2" strips. They're quick and easy to make, and they're a great way to use up a jelly roll or two.
• Strip quilts: These quilts are made by sewing together strips of fabric in a variety of widths. They can be made in any size or color combination, and they're a great way to use up scraps.
• Half-square triangle quilts: These quilts are made by sewing together half-square triangles. They can be made in any size or color combination, and they're a great way to use up scraps.
• Quarter-square triangle quilts: These quilts are made by sewing together quarter-square triangles. They can be made in any size or color combination, and they're a great way to use up scraps.

If you're new to quilting, I recommend starting with a simple pattern like a log cabin quilt or a jelly roll quilt. Once you've mastered the basics, you can move on to more complex patterns like strip quilts or half-square triangle quilts.

No matter what pattern you choose, you're sure to love the results. Quilts without borders are a great way to save time and fabric, and they have a modern and minimalist look that will complement any décor.

Tips for Making Quilts Without Borders

• Use a variety of fabrics. This will help to create a more interesting and visually appealing quilt.
• Pay attention to the direction of the fabric. This will help to ensure that your quilt is square.
• Press your seams well. This will help to keep your quilt looking neat and tidy.
• Quilt your quilt generously. This will help to keep it from puckering or distorting.
• Bind your quilt with a coordinating fabric. This will help to finish off the look of your quilt and make it more durable.

With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create a beautiful quilt without borders that will be enjoyed for years to come.
