That speeds up the process since I don't have to sew on the binding.

Have fun with using lots of colors and prints.
Thanks for the measurements and ideas jbening! I was thinking I should avoid all that binding Mine will be 6x8 when finished. I have a friend come over to help! She can press each one and iron on the butterflies.
