I'm sewing my Time Travel blocks together and then into row, etc. I'm going to have to figure a border "coping" thingy before I put on my sawtooth border and I lent out my book with the formulas and I don't remember how to figure it. Guess I will have to call the borrower and ask for my book back.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590505454197831780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-15802050138717892412008-03-10T06:16:00.000-07:002008-03-10T06:16:00.000-07:00The checkerboard border is great - really shows of...The checkerboard border is great - really shows off the spools.

But look at how your pieced border just makes that quilt so much more special. Love it.
