Press the seams open. 11. Measure the length of the quilt center at each long edge and through the middle. If the measurements don’t match within 1⁄8” (32cm), average the 3 measurements to the nearest 1⁄8” (32cm) and cut 2 side border strips to this measurement. Sew the borders to opposite long edges of the quilt-top center and press the seam allowances toward the borders. 12. Repeat step 3, measuring the quilt-center width, including the side borders. Cut 2 border strips to this measurement and sew to the top and bottom edges to complete the quilt top. Press the seam allowances toward the borders.
