i can never figure out four + seven, let alone something like this. A 12" square is made up of 3 rows of three 4" squares....these are the finished sizes. A 9" square is made up of 3 rows of three 3" squares..again the finished sizes. When I cut the first squares to make my HSTs, I cut them bigger than I need to. Then after I sew them together, I cut them down to the size I need. This I found out after ending up with HSTs too small..many of them too small... So I don't worry about 7/8" any more. For 3 1/2" HSTs, I usually cut the original squares about 4 1/4" to 4 1/2", make my HSTs, and then cut those to 3 1/2" size, so they will be 3" when I finish. This is one reason why I made this quilt. I needed the practice of cutting down those HSTs. Yes, I use more material this way, but if I end up with too small HSTs, I will have to cut again, so maybe I save material in the long run. after i come back from vacation. |
I wouldn't border it, I'd just bind it with the same blue fabric. It's beautiful.

Beautiful quilt!! I would just find a tonal blue if you don't have enough of your printed blue. It would look just fine to finish it with a blue binding. Great job!!
