Extra Wide Binding question
#3
I have used the extra wide binding. Sometimes it is as wide as 1 inch finished. I use it primarily when I have a white or light colored outer border and want some color brought out to the edge.

I do them on baby blankets using flannel backed satin. I think I use the method in a Fons and Porter book. Here is an example of one I did: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t199953.html

I was just thinking about this the other day! I like wide bindings;sometimes to me the narrow ones don't complement the quilt, they just bind the edge. I often bring the backing forward for binding, especially on flannel quilts. When I was a kid, we always slept with homemade quilts--that is all we had. I remember spending the night with my non-quilting grandma who had store-bought blankets with satin bindings, and I thought they were the fanciest things I had ever seen!

I had seen this while looking for something else on a search, thought I saved it but can not find it now. If I remember right it was quite wide. Have to look again. Thanks for all of your responses. I am just not sure how wide you could go without it being too far into the edges of the quilt.
