Gosh...you can sure tell from some of these posts that people don't read the entire thread! :shock::lol:! Anyway..I'm glad you've gotten them sewn together now. Putting the on the quilt the way the pattern told you to do it in this case is HARD! No matter what method you use..your dimensions would have to be spot on to make it work. I'll be honest..everytime I've done a border like this or similar, I've PP'd (paper pieced) and I've left the paper on until I have it sewn to the quilt. Otherwise, heck...I'm just not that good....I love how yours is coming together though!
