I was doing the math on some binding yesterday. Usually I have a formula for how many strips I need to cut. But the fabric I had leftover was not in one solid piece. So I started to do the math. If I cut up the strips, I would have 258" and I only needed 245". But when the strips were sewn together, I had only 244". But I had one small strip 1.5" x 18" I sewed on a pink strip so the the piece of fabric was 2.25" wide. NOW all I have to do is make sure the patch is sewn to the inside. One internet store had the fabric for sale but 1/2 yd minimum cut plus shipping, I am just so lucky the everything is working out OK on this charity quilt.
