I'm at work so I had to look up the name of the book online and found a video that talks about and shows the book.

It's the second time I've used it. It explains the math and for some borders give you options on finishing corners (mitred, corner blocks - etc).

This particular border was strip pieced. 3 strips. It was relatively easy, but a good deal of work as you couldn't chain sew them together.

I recommend a LOT of starch.

Someone asked how I got the all the "points" even on the outside. They're not points per se - it's a stagger strip piece so the points are "remains". They'll be cut off.
