I’ve had quite a few messages and emails asking if I would share how I bind my quilts for a 1/4” finished binding.
I am happy to oblige! I just needed to be actually BINDING a quilt to be able to take photos and do it.
Quite a few of my quilts have pieced borders, and even quilts with no borders, such as the Lozenges Quilt I just finished here need a binding that will not chop off the points of the units at the edge of the quilt.
A wider binding is just going to be too wide.
An upside of narrower binding? It gives you a very full binding with no saggy baggy empty spots.
Even better…on a quilt that takes 10 strips of fabric to go around the circumference of the quilt – by using 2” strips rather than 2.5” strips – I use 5” less of fabric –that translates into $$$!
On average, a quilt for me generally takes 8 to 9 strips, and I can get that easily out of a 1/2 yard of fabric.
