And I did the same thing on the first one! I can recut and repin this one...does it really make a big difference? To me the 1 inch width balances the quilt better. But maybe there is a reason for a narrow binding. Help, please! (by the way, thank you all so much for all the inspiration and advice. I love this board!!)
By the way, this quilt measures 38X44.
It is fine, there is no reason to not leave it unless it isn't sewn down well. They ask that it be zigzag or something like that, but size isn't an issue.
