Sewing Instructions:

Now we’re ready to begin adding borders.  The top, without borders should measure close to 52-1/2″ x 68-1/2″.  There are plenty of bias edges and if you experience any fullness, spread it across the length of your borders and don’t allow it to be bunched up in one spot.

Carefully mark the center of all four sides and you may even want to divide in into quarters to be sure to space out any fullness you experience.

For the borders, all measurements are cutting measurements .. not finished measurements.

Border #1 – Border Fabric
Sides – 2″ x 68-1/2″ (B-1)
Top and Bottom – 1-3/4″ x 54-1/2″ (B-2)

Border #2 – Accent Fabric
Sides  – 1-1/2” x 71” (B-3)
Top and Bottom – 1-1/2” x 56-1/2” (B-3)

Using the units from yesterday,  and the colored triangles (X), make 32 of the following blocks:

Be very careful while sewing and pressing this step so as not to stretch any bias edges.

Cutting Instructions:

Background Fabric:
6 – 5″ strips.  Cut into 36 – 5″ squares (W-1)

Accent Fabric:
7  – 1-1/2″ strips (Y)

Sewing Instructions:

Pieced Border:

1.  Cut 36 of the 5″ background squares (W-1) on the diagonal once so you have 72 triangles.  Sew to black 1-1-/2″ strips (Y).   Space the triangles out so you get 5 triangles per WOF (width of fabric) strip, leaving space between each triangle.  The space is needed for squaring up.

2.  Cut apart.  Sew another background triangle to the other side to create the unit as shown.  Make 36.

3.  For 32 of the squares, square to 4-7/8″.  Cut on the diagonal once, across the black strip as shown.

4.  For 4 of the blocks from Step 2 (these will be the corners), square to 4-1/2″ but do not cut on the diagonal at all.

That’s it for today.

Continue working to get the rows and top put together.
