Default Question about binding miniature quilts

I have made two miniature quilts for our guild's auction. They aren't the fanciest out there, but I think they are cute and I hope someone likes them.

I'll attach a picture, in case someone wants to see them, though I probably should have waited until I finished to take a picture. I just sandwiched each and there are pins all over them. Still, the quilts show up pretty well.

Okay, my question. I have cut my binding at two inches, when I normally use 2 1/2 inches. My question is about how wide to make my seam when I sew it on. Normally I use the width of my "regular" foot on my sewing machine, but that is about a 3/8 inch seam. I am thinking that I should aim more towards 1/4 inch or even a bit smaller than that. Will that work?

I made two miniatures for our last auction, but I sure can't remember how I did this part. So, a 1/4 inch seam, right??

Thanks,
Dina
