The blocks finish at 10". Basically, they are using 2" size pieces, HSTs, etc. (finished). So, Constellation, finished, is 8" in the middle, with 1" border to make up the 10" block. Whirlpool is the same. Double X has a 6" middle and a 2" finished border.
Great answer, Givio!
I used the only brown border fabric I had that was long enough to cut all the pieces from. I was thinking it was pretty ugly but I guess it's ok. I have a really pretty one but I would have had to cross cut it, which defeats the purpose and looks funny to boot.
