The whole thing is cut in a banana shape for me. As a generality, I allow about 1-1/4 inches at the bottom for the fold-out and then it depends on on the binding style for my top allowance. For a straight binding I allow about 1-1/2" around the top edge of the cantle. If it is a Cheyenne roll I allow about 3/4-1" plus the width of the roll. If the roll is level at the top I use one pattern. If the roll is to snap down more across the top, then I use a pattern with more curve to it.
