Yep... one whole 1/4"...
I picked up one strip 1" wide and attached the border strip and the centre panel - then picked up a strip 1-1/4" wide and did the same to the other side.
My 12yo tells me "It's ok mum, you can't see the difference!" - I think he's trying to be kind.
I have to unpick the 1" wide strip on both sides and find where I put the 1-1/4" - it looks better....
grrrrrrr
this is what comes of designing as you go.... many, many hours spent unpicking....
but it WILL look good soon....getting closer to a finish...
off to unpick...
