I am no good with math and need your help. I just finished this 35X74 quilt top for a twin bed and now I need to add the border or borders would like to make a 4 in border around then a 5 inch around and then a 6 inch around using the three fabrics but do not know how much material I need of each.

Here's a link to a border calculator:

The calculator will help you if you cut your borders WOF. I tend to cut mine lengthwise depending on the print and what I happen to have purchased. If you wanted to do the same you'd need:
2-1/4 yd for 4" border
2-1/2 yd for 5" border
2-3/4 yd for 6" border

assuming you are cutting borders LOF and using long horizontal top and bottom [sewing the sides on first], my EQ says that you need 2 1/8 for 4" border, 2 3/8 for 5" border, and 2 5/8 for the 6" border.

Need more information to respond.

1. Will the borders be a single piece on each side? Or will you be sewing multiple pieces together for each side? (Single pieces require more yardage.)
2. Mitered or straight stitched corners? (Mitered requires slightly more fabric.)

I will be making mited corners.

I think I will be making a long piece around and miter the corners Thank you all

If my calculations are correct, I have done it the old rationed way, you will need. 24 inches for the first boarder, that's 6 cuts at 4 inches wide, ,you will need 35inches of the next boarder, that's 7 cuts at 5 inches, and for the third, 8 cutss at 6 inches equals 48 inches SO

1st is 24"
2nd is 35"
3rd is 48"

I think I have allowed lots providing your cuts are accurate and your fabric is squared up

Sorry I posted this before I seen that you wanted to miter the corners, you probably need to add an extra cut of each to allow for that!!!!!

So pretty & blue is my favorite color! It would look great on my bed & its a queen!
