    Found your original question! - perserverance pays off! he he :lol: Does your border have to be a specific size? If not, whatever you like/whatever you're happy with. Do you want it large? small? medium? Do you just want it to compliment the center? or speak up for itself?

    I know, SO many questions!! Sorry, just need a little more info before I can advise ;-)

    Mish, if the center you are working on is not a size that is easily divisible by the size of a particular block you want to make, you can always do it as partial blocks and partially plain fabric. I think that's why we see so many borders done that way. If you'll look at what I did on my round 2 on page 26 (I believe), you'll see that's what I did. That way you're not driving yourself crazy trying to make a 5" or 6" block work when it won't.

    Email if I can help you further.

    This is sort of what I have done with the centre I have at the moment. Just couldn't get the blocks right so have expanded the whole centre with an extra border so I could work out the blocks and they would fit.

    Love this Dresden Plate pattern, the label is really nice too. I love looking at these even though I'm a nonparticipating person
