If your cutting WOF, not on bias, and USABLE fabric is about 40", if you got 3/4 yard, cut 3" strips-you can get 9 strips (figure on 8 strips). That is 8 x 40" = 320 inches usable strips, your quilt needs 288 inches, but you'll need extra-figure 300 inches-you'll have pleanty with 3/4 yard. I always keep extra binding when making it, so I can at a future time, use it for scrappy binding which I love on the right quilt!!
