You only need about 22" for binding if using a 2 1/2" binding-
that leaves a little extra for fudge room- or to add to your stash.
Thanks for the help!
I'll bet that leaves you short width wise. Most fabric isn't 44" anymore, it's more like 42" and you lose the selvedges so you end up with about 40".
