Gina replied: 1 Jan 20 at 14:01

Ah thanks for this. I've done this part and I have all twelve blocks joined, quilted and sashing in place, It was the final slightly wider border and binding that I was wondering about. I'm sure I can work out what I need to do, I'm just a bit new to sewing/quilt making, so welcome 'idiot proof' instructions! Gina
