Let's do some math.
There are 612 square inches in an 18" x 34" piece of fabric. !
If you made your binding 2 1/2' which is common, you'd get 252 running inches of binding or 7 yards of binding.
Someone is changing words. 252 INCHES of 2 1/2 binding can never be more than 612 square inches.
And what is the mystery?
Take your 34" piece of fabric, cut a strip of 2 1/2 inches then repeat, then repeat, then repeat--------------------which is exactly what every one of us does every day
