I have the log cabin quilt top finished, but now comes the time to cut the binding.
I am shy in having enough of the (stupid) green fabric left to make the binding 2 1/4" and fold in half like I normally do. I seem to have read that sometimes one can use a single fold of fabric instead of the double fold. If I use this method, I have enough fabric. My question is - if you have done this, did you find the binding wore out quicker than it did with the double fold? It's not an option to buy more fabric, I am determined to use my stash! :) Thanks for your suggestions. htis is half of the quilt, colors don't show well in photo [ATTACH=CONFIG]172137[/ATTACH] |
Beautiful!!! Sorry I cant help with the binding question.

sorry I can't help either, but will follow this thread, beautiful quilt

I haven't made any with a single fold, so I can't comment on that, but what if you pick something else from your stash and made the faux piping? Here's a link to the tutorial.

Why can't you do two sides in the green and 2 sides in the tan/gold?
Just like a log cabin block. |

Just like a log cabin block. Actually, I am trying to use this green for 2 reasons. #1 - it matches both top and backing perfectly. #2, my husband didn't like the beige as the binding and it doesn't really look that good with the backing. |
single fold does wear out faster!

Why not use 2 pieces sewn together to make the dbl. fold binding. This would give you enough of the green on top to do the binding.

Single fold binding will work fine, it just won't last as long. you might have to rebind in a few years if you use and wash the quilt a lot.
