I purposely gave you dimensions that are somewhat uneven. A quilt, 39" x 64" with a 3" border, changes the top to 45" x 70" . Start with drawing a diagram with your own dimensions.

On your diagram, draw the corner lines on all 4 corners. We'll ignore the corners for now so the dimensions we are dealing with are 3"x 39" for the top measurement. To get the repeats, I use machine adding tape to get the width of the repeats. Working on the top and bottom measurements, I cut a strip of adding tape 39". If I fold it in half, I can get a repeat that is 18½" wide. If you want a vine, take this measurement of 18½" width and adding the 3" height, transfer it to a piece of freezer paper or paper large enough to accomodate the measurements.




Making a diamond repeat is done the same way. Fold your paper in quarters to your dimensions. I've tried to show you how to proceed by using different colors.
