Lesley, do you remember how much fabric you used for the binding?
Stunning, Wil, well done. Re the binding, I bought 2 yards, with the intention of using it for binding and cornerstones (I had three quarter in sashing, so my cornerstones were cut 1.5in
What I did was to cut a diagonal at the end of the fabric, and then cut the triangle into all the little cornerstones. I continued to cut diagonals for the binding (I cut 2.25in for a double, narrow binding). I had a good chunk left over which was mostly triangle again, but I don't think I could have got away with 1.5 yards unless I had more seams in the binding. Sorry to be so vague. I think you would only need a yard if you weren't using some for cornerstones.
