Beautiful finishes Kristakz, I don't think I could ever count on making a pieced border to fit that accurately and the blue colours are a perfect match.
That is some very special birch wood fabric too, I've never seen fabric like it - beautiful.
Happy New Year all
Thanks E.J.

If I can promote a book (not mine) - "60 Pieced Quilt Borders" by Judy Laquidara does a fabulous job of explaining how to make pieced borders fit. Along with giving you 60 different ideas. She has a worksheet in there you can use for any quilt to figure out what size sashing strips you need to make your border fit.
