Yes, in that case I knew it. The English quilt in my book has a beautiful border pattern, a big sea shell! I have already marked the first quarter on my quilt and started quilting yesterday.
Sometimes I finish the center medaillon and I am still thinking about the patterns for the border or I change the original plans. It's not so hard to make the patterns fit. The center can be devided like a cake in 45°, 60°, 90° - pieces and the patterns have to fit there! For the borders I measure the length of my quilt and devide it into equal parts. The remaining rest is a lot of improvisation!
