The second option, orange and turquoise, is a 6" border. No points that you'd cut off on that one. In the regular RR's normally they are an every other row size. You always have a definite order that you send in and that way it makes it fairly even on how much fabric you are using. It keeps it a little more "even" then for everyone. If you had 5 in a swap, #1 always sends to #2, 2 to 3 .....5 sends to 1. This way each person has a first row, the middle ones and the finishing row. Works out real well. When you do your own, you can do anything that pleases your eye.
So what you gonna' do whitepine?
