Question So how do scallops go around the corners?

I got a pattern and instructions and was all set to go, but the lengths it said to cut the borders were short a couple inches (!!!) so now their handy template probably won't work as I will have to shrink the border by an inch on the long sides to get the top and bottom pieces I already cut to fit. Or go on line desperately seeking more of the fabric (I bought bolt-end from LQS) - have enough left to do a center panel for the backing, with some cleaver pieces of contrasting fabric to make it work.

Or skip the cursed scallops. Have never done them and was really leaning on pattern instructions and template. FYI the pattern instructions don't explain how to go around the corners either! LOL

What is the easiest way to do this? I've got the math but not the geometry!

Thanks
Sue
