The Entwined Border needs to be made at a width divisible evenly by three, and because there are many small pieces, you probably don't want it TOO narrow! For one section, which goes from the left hand bottom to the left side of the next low peak, you need four squares of the background color, each 1/3rd of the total border width plus 1/2" for seam allowances, and two squares of the bar-being-entwined color, each one third of the total border width plus 1/2" for seam allowances. You also need four half squares in the background color/entwining color, made from squares one third the total border width plus 7/8" for seam allowances, and two half squares of that same size in the entwining/entwined colors. I show them here being speed pieced. |

Then you make rows from the
previously made units and the squares, using as always, scant
1/4" seams....and sew the rows together along the long edge
EXAMPLE: For a 6" Entwined Border, your squares would be cut at 2 1/2", and your half squares would be pieced from 2 7/8" half square triangles... EXAMPLE: For a 9" Entwined Border, your squares would be cut at 3 1/2", and your half squares would be pieced from 3 7/8" half square triangles... Here's one that Karlene made! Deb & Joani's Row Robin!--and another of that quilt! |
