I don't see anywhere on there that tells how wide the border is. I emailed this site last week and they havent answered.
My next question is: If I wanted to order some to put around my quilt as a border, how do I calculate how much I need? My quilt is 92 x 92.
You need four repeats. There will likely be four repeats over the width of the fabric. With a border fabric like this you'll want to miter your borders. So, you need the length of each border plus the width of the border x 2. You're maximum border width will be 10 inches (40 divided by 4) You're quilt measures 92 X 92 and that's 2.5 yards. So you'll need 2.5 yards in length plus another 20 inches maximum to miter your corners. That's 3 yards and an eighth. I'd get 3 and a quarter.
