now you don't have to do a two color binding as shown here. just do it as shown onto each side of your quilt and sew. individual binding. no mitered corners as in one long strip of binding. have fun. |
I'd make my own binding, cut 2.5 inch strips, fold in half, sew on, flip over and hand sew the binding with mitered corners. I prefer my own binding because I can match it with fabric from the quilt.

I always do what they call a "french binding" I use a bias strip 2.5" folded in half, machine sewed on front, and hand stitched on back. Here is more detailed instructions.

Thanks again everyone for all the great advice! I think I have a plan now.
