Does anyone know how to do this? I can't see how it could be done without one color creeping over onto the wrong side.
If you want your total binding to be 2.5", cut one binding piece 3/4", the other 2 1/4, and sew your 1/4" seam. Fold in half
and iron. Put the small side down on the proper side, sew down and it should fold over so that the seam attaching the different materials is on the edge.
Thank you so much. Guess seeing it in print works for my aged brain. The lady at the quilt shop said pretty much what you wrote, but it just didn't register. Will give it a try on a runner for Thanksgiving with Christmas on the reverse.
