Seriously, I cannot brain today I has the dumb! I am making a pieced backing for a table runner top and cannot seriously figure out how to cut the border and backing pieces. I want to use a separate color for the center of the backing piece and add borders. Sounds easy. Don't know why I can't figure this out but today, no matter what I do, I'm just stuck.
My borders are 2.5 inches what the heck size do I need for the center if my top measures 62.5x16? Should the center piece be 60.5 x 14?
60.5 + 2.5 =63 and then you lose the 1/2 inch right? and the width would be 14 + 2.5 = 16.5 and then lose the 1/2 inch
Seriously, I cannot believe I cannot figure this out. I get brain fog really bad and today is that day. Ugh!!!
