I love the extra blue border to "float" the quilt. -
Pam, that pieced border looks great! I would add the extra blue border too.
I've finished the first pieced border for my 5 block version, plus a mitered narrow border in between to make it fit. I miter my borders before sewing them to the quilt. You have to cut exact, pin, and sew with an open toe and even feed foot so the fabric doesn't creep. I've been doing this for several years now. I did it first on attic window blocks and it worked so well I started doing it on full borders too. The cutting can be confusing at first. Just add the unfinished width or length of the quilt center to twice the finished width of the border. Be sure to leave 1/4" unsewn at the inside of the miter, pin and sew 2 opposite sides first, then pin and sew the remaining sides, sewing on the border side so you can see where to start and stop.

The side borders are October’s instructions. The top and bottom borders are November.
Did you find the side borders?

I have downloaded the instructions for October and was looking at Beckie’s video and she has a sheet with many leaves on it that she is cutting out. I don’t see that sheet in the October handout. Maybe that comes in November? I did not realize that the borders continue in NovemberComment

Yes, October's pattern is called Side Borders. November's pattern will be called Top and Bottom borders.
I can see where her video with the November patterns could lead you to think you were missing a page. It's just not available yet.

My borders are different from Barbara's, but that was the fabric I had enough of to do the borders and the binding.

WOW! This is really great. Thank you so much for the explanation of your mitered border process. I am looking forward to seeing a photo of the entire quilt.Comment
