Binding is one of my favorite parts. My friend taught me an easy way... 2 1/2 " strips sewn together on diagonal, overlap tails by width of binding... 2 1/2 inches, cut, sew on diagonal... should fit perfectly on quilt. A must is a walking foot to sew binding to quilt... I love sewing by hand... don't like machine sewing, never can get it right. It tells me mentally I am almost done. Quilter 1234
