With the charts in this workbook, all of your borders will align because Erin already did all of the math for you. Just start with one of Erin’s 12 creative center block designs. Next, add on as many of her 30 pre-measured block

borders as you like in up to six different widths each.

Finally, choose from one of the six ready-to-go medallion projects. If, for example, you are not a fan of the 3’’ Drunkard’s Path Erin used in Border 5, just swap in any of your favorite 3’’ blocks instead! All you’ll have to do to get started is select your fabrics. Easy. All of the fun with none of the pesky math.
