I have several unfinished quilts that I would like to complete...but I don't have any instructions...
I am hoping if I show you pictures of what I have someone will know the pattern and give some direction.
This one has a few complete blocks as shown. One long strip as shown 3.5" wide x 44" long. I have more fabric to finish this...but what is it and how do I do it? I know how to make the block...what is the long strip going to be? Small corner blocks maybe?
Any help appreciated

I think your strip may be incomplete or something. If you have enough fabric, just follow her directions to finish the quilt. Her values are placed differently so you will have to use your existing block as a guide for making the strips.

Adding borders can be an amazing and artistic way to enlarge a quilt, whether starting with a block or one that is just a bit too small.

"Long strip in my plan"??? Not sure I understand what you mean. I'm assuming you mean the white strips - those between the darker blue squares on each side of the center square of BLOCK B. Those white strips are to be cut the same width as the blue strips that make up BLOCK A. Then they can be trimmed to fit each side of the center in BLOCK B. You will add a white strip to opposite sides of BLOCK B, then add a darker blue small square to the ends of 2 of those white strips that you will sew to the top and bottom side of each BLOCK B.
Does that help?
