On the back of my pattern you’ll see a note saying that if you plan to use an ombre fabric for the trees, you’ll need additional yardage:
- Small tree: 3/4 yards
- Medium Tree: 1-1/4 yards
- Large Tree: 1-1/4 yards
I then go on to be a little vague about the border yardage, because it really depends on how you want to do it. Your choice will decide how much fabric you’ll need to buy. SO, here are your choices:
Border Option A: Ebb & Flow (and save some dough)
If you:
✔️ Like the idea of your borders going from light to dark and back again ALL the way around your quilt
✔️ Want to save some money
✔️ Want to make this as simple as possible
…then you’re going to use the fabric requirements as listed and cut as instructed…easy peasy!
Border Option B: Exactly as seen on the cover quilt
If you:
✔️ Want to get the same look as the cover quilt borders
✔️ Don’t mind paying more
✔️ Can follow a cutting diagram
…then you’re going to follow the instructions for your size below:
QUEEN sizes:
Purchase:
✔️ 3-1/2 yards of the Onyx Fairy Dust Border (1st & 3rd borders)
✔️ 3 yards of the Lagoon Fairy Dust Border (2nd border).
QUEEN Cutting Diagram – Borders 1 & 3 (assumes both borders are the same color)
If this is too small, right click the image and click “open image in new tab” – then you’l see it nice and big!
QUEEN Cutting Diagram – Border 2
If this is too small, right click the image and click “open image in new tab” – then you’l see it nice and big!
…and YES, you’re could waste an enormous amount of fabric doing this OR you could use it as an awesome accent in the backing of your quilt.

✔️ 3-1/2 yards of the Onyx Fairy Dust Border (1st & 3rd borders)
