Borders
#5
Not that I know of but one thing I do know it is better to much than not enough! I have found myself in that spot a couple of times where I thought I had enough. I even laid it out but then discovered I did not have enough.

I usually use 3" (cut 3.5)border. Sometimes 4" or 5". Anything bigger, not pleasing to my eye or brain. What I was once told by a quilting teacher, "the size of your block determines the size of your border" For instance, if your finished block measures 8" your border should be 4". I think what is pleasing to your eye is a better measure.

A little bit of math and use some of the numbers when doing border.

I like a 2, 4, 6 border or 3,5 inch border.
