It is easier to complete rows in sections on the larger quilts. Then join two or three large pieces.
Cut 4 (8, 10) 2″ strips for the contrasting border. Carefully sew this around the quilt. Do not stretch the bias edge on the triangles. Cut 4 (8, 10) 6″ outside border strips. Sew these to the outside of the quilt. Use either mitered or box corners (see below).
