Are you ready for the final step in border three. This one is easy! When your done your quilt should measure 48 1/2" x 48 1/2" if your bow ties are based on the 2" squares and 54 1/2" x 54 1/2" if your bow ties are based on the 2 1/2" squares.
For the corner posts from background cut 8- 2" x 5" rectangles, 8- 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles and8- 2" squares. From scraps cut 16- 2" squares
Sew a 2" scrap square to the end of each of your 2" x 5" background rectangle (unit 1)
For each corner post you will need 2- unit 1's and 2 unit 2's. Arrange so the 2" scrappy squares run diagonal through your block and sew together. Make for of these.
If your bow ties are based of 2 1/2" squares arrange your top and bottom borders so they start and stop with a house block and alternate with the tree blocks. Use four house blocks and three tree blocks for the top and bottom borders. Then sew a corner post on each end.
