I have a question....okay I am making a quilt for a new grandson due to arrive around Thanksgiving. I have my blocks put together and now I am going to put on the borders on the side...well...I cut them 3.5 inches in width, but they are just slightly too short, the length of the quilt is about 42.5 inches. I cut the selvedge off as little as I could get away with. Is it okay to piece the border? I really didn't want to, but is that what I need to do? I hope I am making myself clear.....if not..Tell me and I'll try again. Thanks.
