Hi,
I am making a quilt that measures 40.5 x 30 inches. In the directions for the outer border it says to cut 5 strips, 5.5 x 40, for the inner boarder cut 5 strips 1 1/8 x40. The you sew the inner and outer border strips together.
Now, this is supposed to be a mitered border, but obviously there is not enough length on the side borders to do this. It says to piece as necessary. Would you ever piece the strps together to make the border strips longer? Will it look bad to do this?
Thanks,
Margaret
