Once I was happy with the center, I began working on the borders. I wanted something simple, but interesting for the two small borders with something a bit more complicated for the larger border. While browsing my computer images for border ideas, I saw a line drawing that I had saved of the "T" shapes that immediately drew my attention. After much trial and error, I was able to get the pattern to fit both borders. I then put the pattern aside for the night and looked at it again in the morning. I still wasn't completely happy with the two small borders so I flipped the outermost border to that the "T" shapes were opposite to the ones on the inner border. This looked much better to me and I was able to make the corners flow much nicer with this configuration.
The middle border is made using a part of the center rug pattern. It took quite a bit of testing to get the right distance between each motif and have them fit into the border correctly, but I am very happy with the results. The cushion pattern followed quite easily once I had decided on the final rug pattern and thus, I am able to offer both on my Etsy site: doublethefuncrafts.etsy.com Hope you enjoy them. The wonderful thing about these patterns is that they lend themselves very easily to color changes to suit your project. The possibilities are endless!
