Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month historic journey recreating the historic Rajah Quilt, sewn by women convicts on board the ship Rajah traveling from England on April 1841 to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land-now known as Tasmania. The original quilt measured at approximately 128" x 128", but Lessa recreated it in quarter scale with fabrics from her stash. She used many different scraps, imagining that's what might have happened when the original quilt was being made. She followed the colors of the original quilt loosely, and tea dyed fabrics that didn't look old enough. You can obtain the same look with reproduction fabrics, or make a more contemporary-looking version like the one created for TQS.
The 2" strip can be cut down to the 1.25" you need for the border if the previous borders have come out the correct size. And the excess used for the corners of the diamond block. If your quilt is larger or smaller this floating border can be adjusted.

Hope you can help. In month 2 of the Rajah quilt instructions say to cut gray strips 2 inches by 26 and 28 inches to be used in month 4 . Now in month 4 instructions say the finished width of that border is 3/4 inches That does not work. Which is correct. If I don't get it right here
it will just compound. Thanks
