Im doing a patchwork border to make a crib sized top into a throw sized blanket. I knew there would be some places where my square sizes didnt match with my quilt width so I stitched corner pieces and put the gap in the center. When I went to find out the extra space the sides measured perfectly, but the top and bottom gaps are an inch different. Im sure this is because my patchwork is just a bit tighter stitched on the top side. I know I've got a few wavty seams in there.
How is best to handle this?
- Cut to the gap size and let it be a bit uneven?
- Split the difference
- Use the larger size
- Something I haven't even thought of
Thanks!
