Thanks again.
I cut a 3" border for the 5" squares. I would say as a general rule, to take the diagonal measurement and cut your border half of that. Correct me if I am wrong, please. I think I cut a 5" border for my 8" blocks.
On the 2 1/2 template I cut the border 2", just to be sure I had enough fabric, on the 1 1/2 template I think I cut just a little over an inch,probably safer 1 1/2" . Better to have a little extra than not enough.
