1. If your board measures 60 inches and you want to make 3 swags, just divide it by 3, but here the middle swag is a little larger - an additional 6 or 7 inches is added on both side, making the middle swags wider to achieve a slightly different style. This is call overlapping.
2. The second diagram was divided by 2, this mean the measurement are 30 inches each. The middle swag is optional. This also is overlapping.
3. If your board measures 60 inches and you want 3 swags, then you would simply divide it by 3, you will arrive at the width size -  in this example,  20 inches for each swags, this is call 'Point to Point, see diagram 3.
4.
