Step 2: 

On paper make a pattern for the border strips.  The length should be the same size as one side of the  square pattern you just cut out.  The width is 2 times the desired border with plus 1/4 inch.  For example, if you want a 1 inch border, you pattern will measure 2.5 inches wide.  Cut out your pattern.
