Hope the instructions above pictures are clear. . Let me know if you have any questions.

I cut my binding strips 2 1/4 in wide. If you want a wider binding, trim your batting and backing 1/2 in instead of 1/4 in and you can use a larger binding such as 2 1/2in. Hope that helps someone.

Thanks so much for your instructions. The books leave out a lot of detail. I appreciate the pics that show to cut the batting .25" beyond the border. I have read that the binding is supposed to be filled with the batting...and this is how it's done!

Very interesting. I have been cutting my quilt top and batting even. I did not know that you are to leave a 1/4 in. of the batting. I will have to try this on my next quilt.

Thanks for the help! I too would like to see the rest of the quilt!
