Description
The birth flowers border pattern has been designed with modular units that can be combined to surround a single block or group of blocks.
The fabric required will vary depending on how many units are being used. The chart below provides fabric requirements for a single block border or a twelve-block border with sashing and cornerstones.
The pattern can also be used to create a frame for the birth flower blocks. A frame is a quilted border with a pocket sewn on the back so that birth flower blocks can be switched in and out from month to month.
