I, too, think the binding needs to be wider than 2 1/2 inches. The stitching on the front does not go on the very edge, it goes nearer the edge of the larger color on the front, which is the smaller of the strips used to make the binding strip. This can be very confusing, so make a sample for yourself and see what happens first hand.
