Keep up with the excellent progress.
Hi 'my-ty', thanks for your lovely complements... I pretty much have to pre prepare due to the fact that it takes the quilt top approx 2 weeks to arrive here in Scotland and then another 2 weeks to arrive at it's next destination back in the USA.
I use graph paper on 'microsoft word' with a picture downloaded from here to then decide on a border I may use...
I work on 1 square = 1" of a block. I shrink the picture until it fits my graph sizes... then draw colour my border idea... Just have a play and see if it could work for you...
