How much fabric of each do I need? Please tell me how to figure this. Any question that I have not covered, let me know. Thanks everyone.
1st 6 inch border = 1 1/2 yds cut 6.5 inch stips , cutting 8 strips
2nd 4 inch border = 1 yard cut 4.5 inch strips, cutting 8 strips
3rd 6 inch border = 1 5/8 yds cut 6.5 inch strips, cutting 8 strips

i tunes has this great App by RKaufman Fabrics called QuiltCal - it is a lifesaver!!
