The final step...borders! I hope that you have enjoyed this mystery and will come back for more!!!
I am going to give you the optimum size of the border strips if all your blocks are the correct size and your seams in putting the blocks together were exact. I recommend that you measure across the middle in a number of places and take an average...and adjust my measurements as needed. I always do the longer sides first...and always press toward the border strip just added.
| Step | Directions |
| 1 | Create 2 strips of Light that measure 3"x70-1/2"...attach to sides of top. |
| 2 | Create 2 strips of Light that measure 3"x55-1/2"...attach to ends of top. |
| 3 | Create 2 strips of Medium that measure 3"x75-1/2"...attach to sides of top. |
| 4 | Create 2 strips of Medium that measure 3"x60-1/2"...attach to ends of top. |
| 5 | Create 2 strips of Dark that measure 3"x80-1/2"...attach to sides of top. |
| 6 | Create 2 strips of Dark that measure 3"x65-1/2"...attach to ends of top. |
You are Done!!!
