Make a double-sided quilt binding |
If you'd like to make a binding for your quilt that has one fabric on the front and another on the back, follow these directions. Fabric A will be the fabric on the front quilt and Fabric B will be the fabric on the back of the quilt.
Here's the formula to determine the size of strips to cut for other sizes of binding:
So, for example, if you want a finished width binding of 1", Fabric A would be cut 1" plus ½" or a total of 1½". Fabric B would be cut 1" x 2 = 2" plus ½" for a total of 2½". For a finished width binding of 2", Fabric A would be cut 2½" and Fabric B would be cut 4½". |
