sound right??? Hope so.
This what I thought at first, but in my mind, doing it this way, I see one color ending up Under the other. Now I am thinking I need to seam them and fold under each color and attach with a top stitch.
True. I think one color would be cut at 3/4" and the other one cut at 1 1/4". You will have to visually check to make sure that the correct side is up. I would recommend pin a small length and turn it just to make sure. My only concern will be the thickness of the binding by having the extra seam. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!
