Taught by Grandma thank you for giving me an at least’ size of the border. That’s really what I was needing. I was going to use at least a 6 or 8 inch, but I thought I may need larger because tutorials say you lose some. If I place my curve 3/4 in from edge and then my points where scallops meet go up an inch or so, I lose almost 2 inch there or better. Points or connecting scallops may need to curve up more than an inch. What do you say? My blocks are 12 in.
To all the rest, thank you for helping with all your tips. They all make sense and some I have given thought to, also. I was really concerned how wide to cut my border, to really look good for the quilt size and by the time scallops were cut. I have to have enough fabric for backing and binding it all, so I didn’t want to be too wasteful.
