I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

ok here's what i did. the quilt center is 15.5 ins wide and 24 in long, the top and bottom borders are 22 in and the left right borders are 32.5 ins. so i took the measurement of the short borders (21 in) and the width of the quilt center (15.5 ins) subtracted and divided by 2 and added half an inch coming up with 3.25 in wide floaters then it doesn't matter how i turn them i can't get them to fit but if i cut the center of the quilt into a square (15.5 x 15.5) the floaters fit perfectly, so i know it's me and not Sue's instructions but i can't see what i am doing wrong

Floater is pretty much a border that you adjust to make an outside border/blocks fit. You don't start with an exact measurement. Like in last years BOM. you had a center, then a bunch of blocks sewn together. Between them is a border. Since no one sew the same way and had different measurements, you had to figure out how wide and long to make your borders (floaters). Make sense????

The only thing I see is you have two different measurements for your short border. first you say 22, then you have 21. when I used the same formula for22, it comes to3.75. then I also used the same formula for the longer measurements and come up with 4.75. So looks like your floater isn't going to be the same width on all 4 sides. HOpe this helps.

thank you all I wondered if i had to do another set of measurements but wasn't sure. I thought all 4 floaters had to be the same width and couldn't work out how to do this. Will now be able to finish this quilt. It is the first one I have designed myself so was trying hard to get it to look good now I know it will come out fine. Thanks again. It is a great thing to have so much experience, advice and help on tap 24/7.
