You are doing a wonderful job and I love the border! Some tips to help you in the future: make sure all your blocks are squared to the same size especially appliqued ones. Check your sashing strips also, I have put my ruler on the wrong mark and 1/4" makes a difference. Check your sewing seam -use 1/4" foot or mark your machine with painters blue tape, last press, press and press somemore even 1/16th added up can leave you short but do not stretch the fabric. I was lucky to get great quilting advise early and have been pleased with most of my projects. Good luck. Moosegirl
