I should have tried it before posting. Site is http://www.mathopenref.com/squarediagonals/html. For some reason I can’t copy to here on my IPad.

Make your four patch borders and measure them before you try and figure out the plain (coping) border. after you have the four borders (2 sides, top and bottom) measure them and you will have some math to figure the coping border. there are tutorials on line http://quiltyfolk.blogspot.com/2014/...-when-you.html or come back and pose the question and someone will do the math. It's a beautiful quilt.

Ok, I finally have it figured out. Go to www.mathopenref.com. Scrool to bottom and click on Index by Number. Click on D at top of page. Go down and click on Diagonal of A Square. I like that you can calculate dimensions if you only have side or diagonal measurement.

Peggy, your link is helpful as well. I am a visual learner, and her diagrams are helpful. Thank you!

This has been so much easier to design the pieced borders before the coping borders....you all are so smart!
But I can’t get past those corners on the on-point borders....they look like bandaids to me!
