I'm making a king storm at sea, and right now it is 105x105. If I add an additional pieced border it will be 114x114. I really want to add this border, because I'm thinking after machine quilting if I leave it at 105 the stitching will make it shrink up too much.
I am only stitching in the ditch with my running foot on this one, because Its too large to free motion quilt. Was wondering if anyone has tackled this here?
Iam working on one with 14" squares right now that I need to have come in at about 114. Here is what I plan to do. THere are 6 squares across and down, which gets me up to 84, I plan to add an inner border of 4 to 5 inches, uncut yet, and the outer border, of 10 1/4" squares turned on point, all also done. I plan to piece the back in 3 pieces and quilt as you go 3 sets of 28, plus 2" on the center cut, and 2 cuts of 28" plus 2 inches, plus the width of the inner border, I am fighring out the lengths of the cuts at 84 plus, 10, plus 2. I will add the final border onto this quilted top, after it is quilted. This way I can handle 28 to 30 inch strips and not be limited by the type of quilting I plan to do. I figure this uses a little more back fabric, but the scraps will go into another scrappy quilt. I can't qult on large projects due to some disc issues in my neck, but QAYG works for me if I take the time to figure it all out ahead of time. :-D
