Thank you everyone!!! You ladies are so helpful! I've done the two sided binding before, I'd forgotten all about it.
|
If you make the flanged binding, you can put it on so that only one colour shows. I have often done this when I just don't have enough fabric for a binding. It is sort of like a facing on a neckline. Just make sure to press the seam to the narrower fabric.
|
I would never have thought of that. I just love this place. We get so many good ideas from each other.

Very interesting concept, two bindings....
|
Or, you could do a single thickness of two very similar colors. attaching them both at the same time. I personally think when you have double thickness bindings, they don't wear thru as quickly.
|
look forward to hearing/seeing what you decide to do.
|
I would like the measurements for a two color binding that the colors meet on the edge of the edge of the quilt. If I n a 2 1/4 I guess Iwould nee 1 1/8 for each color. Have seen directons somewhere but can't find them today.
|
You'd need 1 1/8 plus 1/4 for the seam allowance, so 1 5/8" cut strips.
