Disappearing nine patch
« on: June 16, 2018, 07:02:54 AM »
I have been making a disappearing nine patch for DS1 forever.  The end is in sight but I'm having a wobble about the size.

I have made twenty four 12" blocks so it is currently 48"x 72".  I intend to add two borders.  My dilemma:- would it be better to make another six blocks so that it is 5 blocks wide by 6 blocks long or to make it up to the required size with borders.

The simple version is:- Is 12" too wide for a border (2 borders)?

6" borders are fine especially when offset by 12" blocks ...

1/2 the size of the block = proportional heaven
