I do it my making the borders larger than the quilt. Then I take the difference in measurements between the quilt and the pieced border. I make a regular border plus 1/2" for seams the length of the difference I got when I subtracted the quilt size from the size of the pieced borders. This is a quilt I'm working on. The second border of flying geese were made before the first little green border. That little green border filled in the difference between the quilt and the flying geese border. I hope that's clear.

I think your quilt looks adorable now, Rebecca! I get what you are saying but my problem is how skinny the width of the panel is. I feel that somehow I need to make it a little wider without making it longer than about 70". So any boarders ( ha ha, just kidding, Jean) cannot be equal in width. In other words, if I just double the whole quilt it will be a goofy 48"x80"
