Rolling Along Part 7

Time to sew the blocks into rows and sew the rows together and then add the borders.

Sew five blocks into rows as shown.  Make 7 rows and sew those together.

For the borders:

#1 – Background fabric.  Strips are cut 1-1/2″.  The side strips should measure 1-1/2″ x 70-1/2″.  The top and bottom borders should measure 1-1/2″ x 52-1/2″.

#2 – Red fabric.  Strips are cut 1-1/2″.  The side strips should measure 1-1/2″ x 72-1/2″.  The top and bottom borders should measure 1-1/2″ x 54-1/2″.

#3 – Navy fabric.  Strips are cut 4″.  The side strips should measure 4″ x 74-1/2″.  The top and bottom borders should measure 4″ x 61-1/2″.

That’s it!

The top should now measure 61″ x 81″.

For the binding, I would cut 9 strips and would probably end up not using much (if any) of the 9th strip but according to my calculations, just a smidgen over 8 strips may be needed and I’d rather have the extra strip than be short.  But . . if you’re going to finish the quilt quickly and bind it right away, you might want to cut 8 strips and then go back and cut the 9th one only if needed.

    Judy, this quilt is another winner!
    I’ve been wanting to ask: How do you sew your borders on? Do you sew them all together and then miter the corners? Or, do you sew each one on in a round. I’m especially wondering for the quilts that have 6 or seven borders.
