    Whatever way works best for you. Sometimes, I even apply the borders like pieces in a log cabin. Seems to take a tad less fabric which can be a good thing when you are working from your stash. Plus,...

    I do the same thing with my strips that are at least 2-1/2 inches wide. I also roll up leftover binding the same way; I can use them on scrap quilts.

    Hi all,

    I went looking for Aie's site and had no luck. Anyone know what happened? I made my husband her Cancer block and would love to find the Sagittarius block. Thanks for any and all help.
