The narrow borders are 1in finished on the original quilt, I have been enlarging those by 1.42% so they fit nicely on a 10in finished block (I am cutting my squares 11in as they just fit on Kona cotton that way).
I have cut my border fabric to 2 1/4in wide which is a tiny bit too big, but can be trimmed when I have stitched it.
Actually, I have in reality cut them 4 1/2in as I am sewing they back to back and will then cut them in half.
One half stitched

What it will look like (only on my design board so far).
