I make two sided binding a lot. All yoou do is cut the fabric you want for the front 1 inch and the fabric you want on the back 2 inches. Sew them together fold in half and put it on your quilt. If you want you can always make a sample and see how this works. Good Luck.

Does this mean you only put single fold on each side. i usually fold the 21/2inch bindingin half and put it on double. is there a special way to do the corners as single fold?

sorry I don't know how to do a tutoral on it. But by cutting your strips 1 inch and 2 inch and sewing them together you have a 2 1/2 inch strip. Then you fold that in half and you have your binding. Take a scrap fabric and cut it that size, sew, fold in half and you will see how it works. I don't know how to explain it any better than that

match the front and won't worry about matching the back unless the color offends YOU.

I think this has a good explanation. Sorry there aren't any pictures.

There's also instructions on this thread:

I sew strip scraps together and make six, eight or more color changes on front and back. I sew two 3" wide long strips together, fold right side out and press. Sew the raw ends together on the right side of fabric before sewing on quilt to keep the binding sides even. Double sided double fold binding made!
