don't think it will make much difference.........using a smiggen more fabrics thats all......
I am doing to do this also... just remember don't cut your border strips for each block the same size as the book ... remember to add a bit more :-))
Happy stitching, P
After my results in the post below I am thinking about doing that too. The blocks already done will go to making one of the other projects & I will feel better about the quilt ones. Good idea I say! Tracee xx
I had this problem too. But I had already cut my stitching fabric to size after discovering this, so I have sewed the border fabrics on and will try and add the border stitching that way. Although on some blocks it looks like a tight squeeze so I may leave off the border stitching altogether Shame though. If I did or do another one quilt I will make the stitcheries a little larger to allow for the borders. It is still looking lovely though.
that's far to mathematical for me! lol. Of course you are right...might need to consider do you think? Susie
exactly what I am doing..might use a wee bit more fabric but I will be happy with the result and that's what counts-that you are happy with the finished product,cheers Vickie
