Also, what about borders? I thought a small solid border (not sure what color) and then take scraps and make a wider border. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help!
36 x 54 will require borders of about 6 iches all around to make it comfortable. Although I'd add one more row of 6 for a total length of 10 blocks. With the 6 inch borders that's 72. About right to tuck you feet in and pull up to your chin. You can make the border a combo of 2 or three colors to finish it out. Or use one color is that suits you.
:thumbup: :thumbup:I think I would make it wider too!
