    February Borders

    Help! I'm getting ready to cut the borders for February's block of the month. Should I cut them oversized, then cut them to the dimension shown on the chart 5 1/2" x 34 1/2" after appliqueing vine & flowers? This is My first post, I hope it shows up.
    Thanks

    I'm bumping this back up to the top of the recent topics. I'm not making the 2015 BOM - can anyone help her here?

      I have not started the BOM but when I have to applique on borders I usually cut it a bit bigger and then trim to size after finishing the applique. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your progress and welcome to the forum. It is a wonderful place to hang out and get help with quilty questions.

        I have finished the February borders. I did change the flower shape slightly - why is it that I cannot follow a pattern!
        In the meantime I had already started on the March border - and guess what - I am not doing hexagons but making up a daisy shape instead .. and I will be doing a star instead of a heart.

          Your Feb finish looks wonderful!! I think it's wonderful to branch out into your own design!

            TQQuilter,
            I like your version and the colors are luscious.

              Nolaquilter I have only just seen your question now. I assume by now that you have probably finished doing those border. But just in case you haven't... what I would do is to make them a little oversized - by maybe 1/2" to 1" but I would draw a line with your preferred marking tool at the specified width so that you don't go over it with your vines, leaves or flowers. I hope that helps.

              Tqquilter, it's looking good. So much nicer to do your own version.
