It looks good that way actually but wasn't sure how many quilting rules I broke doing it this way. Should I take it off and start over with larger binding strips ?
NOT HARDLY my friend. Where are the quilting police, did someone call them and have you arrested for this, lol. Don't even think about doing it over, especially if it looks good to you. Who cares about rules, if things work out o.k. Rules can be broken, and new ones discovered. Who said there are set rules for quilting anyway.
