All wonderful ways to finish mini's. My bindings depend on how small the quilt is and often opt for the single fold 1 1/4" binding as judy363905 describes, but I press under a quarter inch on the opposite side before I attach it to the quilt; my fold under is now in place when I hand stitch it. I do use a 1/4" seam, but may trim or grade that seam before I hand stitch the binding to the back.

Dina, I normally use 2.25" for my binding so I would go down to at least 2". I did the smallest binding on my 7" mug rug cutting the double folded binding to 1.75". YIKES, it was tight but you want your binding to be in proportion to your quilt. Good Luck as always.

Well, that is the cutest mug rug that I have ever seen!

Thanks again, everyone. I just sewed the binding on one and am in the process of quilting the second one. I even made a sleeve to add...and I hate putting sleeves on quilts, even a mini. But it is required for this auction.
