After last week's geese-a-thon, I thought I'd keep it simple for the next border on my medallion quilt. I wanted to introduce a stronger red border this time and kept it to plain strips with cornerstones (like border 1 but with different measurements).

So,
Here's what I did
Border 3 - bringing unfinished size up to 36.5" square
Single fabric border with contrasting cornerstones.
Cut 4: 2.5" squares for cornerstones
Cut 4: 2.5" x 32.5" for border strips
If you fancied stopping here, this quilt, now measuring 36.5" square, would make a pretty baby quilt or a small wallhanging. Tempted as I am to avoid the next round of calculations, I will press on. Though I think the next border will be a lot more time consuming than this one!
Remember if you think you might have a go at your own version of this medallion, I am capturing all the "how to's" for up there at the Mystery Medallion Quilt tab.
