Is there a site that you can figure yardage for boarders ?
I found one that will calculate binding but nothing yet for boarders.
Is there a formula I can use to do it myself ?
TIA

You just put the borders down the middle of your quilt and cut. There is no real measurement for it...unless you measure the middle of your quilt.
