Looking for a tutorial
Hello all, I'm designing a quilt with a border that looks like the attached photo. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial that talks about the easiest way to construct this border. I'm not sure what it is called so haven't had a successful search on my own. Thanks.

This is a Seminole border using 1/2 square triangles in the center...
This site has some instructions. Just replace the centre with 1/2 square triangles and add a green square to one side and a black square to the other side and piece and trim as shown.

quilterscache.com They have a bunch of wonderful borders, including the one above, and it is all free. I use them frequently.
I have done this and the best way is to make half square triangles using your favorite method. Then add a triangle to two sides. Looking at the pattern at an angle you can see the piece. Sew them in the strip.
Of course you must do the math!

How I would assemble it:
I would play around a bit with how to press the seams to minimize bulk.
I used to mark the seam lines so I knew where to line up the triangles - and then pin the pieces together after lining up the markings. It minimized the aggravation.
There are probably a zillion other ways - but that is how I think I would start assembling it.
