    Please help me decide. I bought this fabric for a backing and binding, but realized it was the same as one of the strips. Should I put a 3 inch border on the quilt or not?? It will still be used as a binding if not the border. Thank you for all of your help.

    The quilt is from the book "Strip Delight" and follows the pattern 'A Little Romance' it is not the size as directed b/c I didnt have enough strips but it meets my needs.

    Thanks, Kyia
