I ran across this article when planning design for a recent panel quilt and learned about this ratio for borders. Thought I would share with anyone who like me is not aware of this info. I found it very helpful. Donna V.

Also as a reminder: Project Linus can only accept quilt tops when the materials have been provided by our chapter funds (i.e. the quilt kits and projects made on Sew Days). We cannot accept any other donated quilt tops due to limited funding and supplies.
