Boy she really ruined that for you. and me. I am so anal that I have to buy fabric in lengths long enough to put unseamed borders on the sides of my quilts! and then I cut my bindings out lengthwise too just so they have fewer seams in them! The binding for the last quilt I made had one seam in it!!! It was a 3 fabric quilt so I cut borders and binding first then the pieces for the body of the quilt! Also used the rest for the back (with some help from the other two fabrics!).
