There is a book that you would need to buy to get the patterns, or you could do like most of the group and just buy the software...its actually better as you can print out patterns. Most of us ordered the software from Joanne's, but you can find it in most LQS. That would be your best bet.

does this software, give directions as to how to put together, or just printouts??
as for all the questions about scallop borders...
i'm sure the one for the DJ must be precise to it's size and design, but there is a WONDERFUL video tut at
MissouriStarquiltco.com
it's the most understandable explantion of how to use the scallop border tool ever... showed my quilting group and they all ran right out and bought one.... LOL

Gramma...the software does NOT tell you how to assemble the blocks. It will allow you to print either templates, foundation patterns or rotary cutting instructions.
I'll have to run over to check out the tute from MSQC..just what I need...to buy another tool!! LOL! Thanks for the heads up on it.

so did i. i made one long strip for each side. 4.5 deep. i believe each one will be marked off at 5 inc. will work on that tomorrow before i sandwich. i think it's going to finish around 95" sq. by the time the binding is on it. unless i measured wrong today, as i measured, and added.

I think thats about what mine ended up as also Sew. I made a plastic template from the one printed off of the software, marked all the scallops on the strip. It may be a good idea to sew the strip on the quilt and mark the scallops, but to go ahead and quilt it before you trim the scallops.

it looks like the software has you making an extra piece and sewing to the top of each scallope. and i think they are wanting that to be the binding. and doing the scallops the old fashioned way of putting right sides together. anyway, did you put that extra piece on your quilt and then add the binding? maybe your brown just pops out, because of the way you quilted it. thx, sunny
and Please, where do i find the link for the tut on making the bias binding? thx found it. duh, it's on this lst page.
yes, sandpat. i sewed the strip on, just like you did, and howyou told us. will mark them, but not cut them till after i get done quilting. prob next spring. :-) the square edges will enable me to pin in the frame good. pic's soon.
