I remember that too.
Or the binding technique where you measured your quilt carefully, to the 1/8th inch, cut your binding to the precise length, then stitched it into a loop with all the joins mitered, and if you were doing it right, it all fit. That expectation translated to a lot of UFOs for me.

Theoretically, that should work. If the binding was cut on the bias, that would allow for a little stretch.
I don' t recall a pattern like that, but ilearned along time ago to wait until I get go the borders to cut them.
