That's narrower than what I do (I cut 2 1/4" or 2 1/2") but the purpose of binding is to enclose the raw edge of your quilt. So long as that is done, size doesn't matter. LOL.

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 ?
