[quote=Luv2Kreate]I have been using 2-1/2 inch strips for my binding. I am completing a new quilt that has a large white border and white back. I was wondering if it is ok to use larger strips...say 3- or 4 inches to make my binding an use a larger seam allowance when sewing the binding to the fabric so I would have a larger width of binding...I hope this makes sense?

Has anyone ever done this before?[/quote

Just be careful some times when you use a larger binding it will want to do strange things such as getting I guess you would call rolls in the fabric.
