So am I understanding correctly? On your last go-round of strips, you cut the backing fabric 2" bigger so that you can fold it to the front? That sounds great. I just bind as I usually do. This technique would really save time.

I've made several of these Kaye Wood quilts. Really good to use up the scraps.
