At Christmas I put all my sewing away and now I can not find my book.
I have all the block together but, need to add the borders can any with this book look to see what size I need to cut.

Thank you so much for any help...

Need more info. I'm looking at the book, there is "Queen" Coverlet 83" x 111" or Bedspread 97" x 125".
Or there is "Square Queen" Coverlet 89" x 89" or Bedspread 100" x 100".
What size do you need?
Let me add that some suggest 1 border or as many as 4. Each one is different.

Thank you for your help. It is six blocks acrosss and 6 rolls down I believe it was the coverlet. it calls for 9 yd of backing fabric..

HI, You could put any size borders on that you want. Be creative. Sometimes I put pieced borders on and sometimes I put a 3in. border first, and 1 1/2 in border next and a 4 or 5 inch border last. Makes it more interesting. Have fun. Marge

Yep, the Square Queen coverlet.
It only notes fabric for one border, even though the photo shows two!??
Yardage 7/8, Cut strips (9) 3", notes on 9 yds of backing to cut 3 equal pieces and for Binding (9) 3"

If you want a second border the Bedspread size will give you some idea:
1st border: 1 1/8 yds, cut strips (9) 4"
2nd border: 2 yds, cut strips (10) 6 "
binding: 1yd, cut strips (10) 3"

Hope this helps!
Happy stitching,
Lyn
