thanks for answering... I have done a very simple quilt design--chenille is alternated with a butterfly block of regular cotton. the middle of the quilt os 36 x 44 without borders at this point. I really don't know if there is a protcol for sizing the borders and I really want to make the finished quilt including the borders to be about 44 x 54 give or take an inch or two. I am planning on only using one border strip. does this help??
thanks so much.
