The Borders of Your Quilt

The Borders of Your QuiltAuthor: Robin HuberWe started the borders by adding blocks to complete the range of your borders on the sides of your material. We calculated the dimensions of slashing, as well as the size of your blocks. If you haven't done so, use the example as followed to measure your blocks. Example: Three blocks appraising the 10-inch square, in addition to the four, terrazzo at one inch width, which adds to 34 inches? How to create borders: Once you finish your dimensions, insert 1/4-inch seam and leave space to each side of your textile. The side borders should measure up to 10 x 34, i.e. width and length. The finishing measurement is factored into the 1/4-inch seams you inserted. You will need to take up the spaces or seams left (later) to complete your borders. Once you insert 1/4 inch you will have created 10 1/2 x 34 1/2, which is the inches you will use to cut to fit the borders along the side. Use the same dimensions to cut at least two borders. The borders will cover each side of your fabric. Now measure the lower and upper borders. Add your blocks together to achieve your size. Follow the same method as outlined in the example above. Once you achieve your dimensions finish the width on one side of your borders. You should have counted 10 x 43, width and length unless you are quilting a larger or smaller quilt. Next, insert another 1/4 inch to your seams and leave space to each side.
