S'more Rows.10 Rows & Borders

Assembling the top!

Are you as excited as I am?  At this point you should have 11 strips of fabric, some pieced, some not, that are 60 1/2" long.

You know what to do!!  Go for it.

EEEEEEEK!  We are in the home stretch.  Measure your top.  It should be close to 60 1/2" x 72 1/2".

For your borders you will need to cut the following pieces...

• From inner border fabric (I used Bella Evergreen SKU#9900-234)
• cut 7, 1 1/2" x wof strips
• cut 4, 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" squares
• From outer border fabric (I used Cars on Cream from the S'more Love line  SKU #37071-11)
• My choice was directional
• Cut 4, 5 1/2" x wof strips
