How much border fabric do I need?
I want to make a couple Jelly Roll Race quilts & was wondering about how much border fabric I should get for each one. I know, I know, I know... they don't normally have borders but I just like borders on my quilts. Plus I want to make sure they're plenty big. I plan to put a narrow (maybe 2") solid-ish border (would I need a yard of that?) & then use one of the prints as the outer border (maybe 4"). Two yards for the outer border? Plus more for the binding (I cut my binding on the straight of the grain at 2.25")? The reason I'm all fired up to find this out is because Fabric Depot is having a 30% off sale this weekend & they have the fabrics I need. Any help would be tremendously appreciated! THANX!!!
