Math will be the death of me...
Help!!!
I'm working on a quilt for my dad but I need to make it a bit bigger since he is tall. I've decided to add a scrappy border of 2.5" squares (same size as what's in the quilt) in between the suggested borders and that is where I'm getting stumped. Every time I think I've got it figured out I think of something else. I seriously abhorr math!
Here it goes:
Center area: 50" x 60" (finished measurements)
Border 1: (problem!!) 1.25" OR 2.5"
Border 2: 2.5" squares
Border 3: 4"
My problem is that I'd rather not have border 1 be the same width as border 2, although that would be easier. I then thought that if border 1 is half the width of border 2 that would work, yes? I'm scared to death to cut the fabric!
