- Trim the panel to 22" X 40", so that a navy
border of about 1/2" wide remains around the entire
panel after the 1/4" seam allowance is taken.
- 1st Border: Cut 4 - 1-1/4" strips of red fabric. Sew
a strip on each side then one on top and bottom.
- 2nd Border: This border is only on the sides and not the
top and the bottom. Cut 2 - 3" strips of the stripe. Be
sure that you cut a whole stripe of a design with the
1/4" seam allowance taken into consideration. You may
choose a different design than I did, so this border could
be a different width than mine. I used the stripe with the
squares and the one with the long stripe showing sleds and
snowmen. Sew on each side of the border 1. DO NOT SEW ON TOP
AND BOTTOM
- 3rd Border: Cut 4 - 1-2/4" strips of snowflake print.
This border is sewn on the sides of the on the last border,
and the top and the bottom. Always trim and square the
corners after each border.
- 4th Border:

together for the top and bottom with the corner blocks on
each end of blocks.

strip of the rail fence blocks for the long sections and
only use the block in between the stars as shown. The
overall design will remain the same.

desired. A 21/2" binding of red is figured into the
