the finished border is 6", but remember that the binding is approximately another 1/4" on each side, not counting your "finished" measurements. So you need to add 1/2" to each measurement to get the final size.
That depends on how you do your binding. Mine don't add to the dimensions.
Out of curiosity, how do you do your binding? Say I want my final border to be 6". I cut it 6 1/2" - 1/4" gets in the seam allowance with the quilt center and 1/4" gets in the binding, leaving 6" for the border. So my quilt is the center + 12" (6" for each border) + 1/2" (1/4" for each binding side).
