Ok I am doing the borders. It's a 90" x 90". Do I buy the fabric that long or can I put two strips together to make it long enough. Not sure how to do this part. one border is going to be 2" and the next one will be 7". I need help!!

you strip it together like you would for binding....
Yep, you sew strips together to get the length you want. : )

Yes, that is the way I do it too.
Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!
I usually do solid borders or very large print borders lengthwise...if the print is smaller and will be unnoticeable when quilted, I do crosswise cuts and seam them with a slanted seam...there really is no wrong way except maybe wrong side up (yep...I have done that!)... can't wait to see your quilt!![]()
