Thanks for all the advice! The problem is that I want to make this quilt much bigger than the original pattern. The quilt is broken down like this- the finished center is 18" putting it together with the feather star border makes that section 33" after adding 3 border the finished size of the quilt is 55". I want to make it 90". So
I added a 4" border to the feathered star section, 2- 1" borders, 2" sawtooth border, 2- 1" border, final border in black floral print with be ? (probably 12-15" border).
below is the link to this book "Scalling Down" The pic on the cover is the center that I made but I changed the pieced border. This is a good book because it gives you 12 different centers and 12 different borders.
