border print help
1 Attachment(s)
i have been looking at this so long i think i am going insane.
where would you divide this print into useable pieces? i think there's enough here to create frames for the 16" swoon blocks and use it as a border for the whole quilt, probably in concert with a second plain border or if there is enough, use the thicker band with the thinner band, spaced by a plain strip. my problem right now is i can't "see" the strips. where would you divide and cut? and how many distinct usable ribbons of print do you see? thanks! aileen |
How many yards do you have. How many repeats across the fabric.
|
3.25 yards. depending on how you judge a ribbon or useable piece, there are 4 or 5 repeats across the fabric.
those beige strips are .5, which suggests that they were designed as waste/seam allowance print. aileen |
I would use the beige strips for cutting the designs apart. I think it would be lovely as a wide border on the edge of the quilt. If you miter the corners and match the design, it will be very pretty.

so what you see is a wide border, a smaller border and two quite narrow ribbon borders?

there is more than enough fabric here to frame the blocks with those really narrow pieces and to use two wider ribbons in a stacked border design.
yay! aileen |
