Calculate how much fabric you'll need.

Step 1. Measure all 4 sides of quilt top and add 10".

Step 2. Take that total and divide by width of your fabric. Usually 42".

            This will give you the total number of strips you will need.

Step 3. Multiply the number of strips by 2.5" to get total inches you

             will need in fabric for your binding.

Caution Note:

If cutting strips for a FLANNEL binding cut strips 2 3/4" wide due to thickness.


Example: 60" x 75" quilt top = 270" plus 10" = 280" divided by 42" =

6.6 strips. So cut 7 strips.
