I started with 2 1/2 as a new quilter, and then moved to 2 1/4. I've been experimenting with 2, though, and will probably use it for most things in the future.

I like to use a 2 1/4" binding. I will use a 2" binding on my mini quilts.

2" double fold binding. I end up with binding the same size on both sides of the quilt.

Since I have only done quilts to use as blankets (baby blankets and larger) I prefer the 2.5 inches folded over. There have been a couple times I wasn't paying attention and cut it 2 inches and had to use it. My biggest concern was if it would hold since I generally use flannel on the back and want the wider finding.

I've always done 2" double fold. Love the way it looks. Thin and holds up very well!

2 1/2" for me

It depends on the type of binding you are making. I normally hand-stitch to the back so I cut 2.25". But doing smaller quilt, 2" has a nice proportional look. I even cut my bug rugs binding 1.75".

2 1/4 double fold works for me.

I really like a 2 1/4" binding.
