I just did this last week. Made my own binding for making "Little dresses for Africa. A 12" square yielded about 60 inches of bias binding--unfinished width. Then you fold it as for binding a quilt or single fold or double fold bias binding. Of course, the larger the square--the more footage of binding you will get.
This is how I make mine as much as possible. I love not having to sew all those little cross seams.
