What I did was bast the edges of the scallops within the turning allowance, then I cut them out. After that, I sewed on the binding as it seemed much easier to me to line it up with a cut edge than a drawn line. Just me, I guess.

Patti, I am pretty sure I had two yards for binding, because I wanted as few seams as I could get away with. I cut the longest diagonal I could, then carried on doing that along the length. I used the whole of the left over triangle at the beginning for my cornerstones, and I think I cut about 10 strips for binding (two for each side and two spare) The left overs went into my stash. I'm sorry I'm a bit vague, I wish I had made a better note of it to help you all out - I think excitement at being so close to finishing got in the way.

Happy Valentines Day
