    Adding floaters Month 5

    Thank you for your prompt reply. I'm really enjoying doing this quilt, even though it's taking me a lot more time than I imagined.

    If using two fabrics for floaters, do you put them on one at a time. If together, do you mitre the corners to get the colours to line up? Lorna

      Great question. You add them one at a time, left, right, top, bottom, with the first fabric, then repeat with the second fabric, left, right, top and bottom.

      If you wanted to add them as pairs, it would look best to miter the four corners and the measurements in the pattern would be incorrect, you need additional length for the borders to have fabric for the miters.
