King size quilt, finished 110″ × 110″.
Buy
1 yd
Cut 13 strips 2½″ wide across the width of fabric for 452″ of double-fold binding. Metric: 0.9 m.
How it's worked out
- Perimeter: (110 + 110) × 2 = 440″.
- Add about 12″ to join the ends and turn the corners: 452″.
- Each strip across 42″–44″ fabric gives about 40″ usable, minus ~2½″ for each diagonal join → 37½″ per strip.
- 452 ÷ 37½ = 12.05 → 13 strips. 13 × 2½″ = 32 1/2″ → round up to 1 yd.
Binding by strip width
| Strip width | Strips | Buy | Metric | Bias (continuous) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2″ | 12 | 3/4 yd | 0.7 m | 32 1/8″ square (1 yd) |
| 2 1/4″ | 12 | 3/4 yd | 0.7 m | 34 1/4″ square (1 yd) |
| 2 1/2″ | 13 | 1 yd | 0.9 m | 36 1/8″ square (1 1/8 yd) |
| 3″ | 13 | 1 1/8 yd | 1.0 m | 39 7/8″ square (1 1/8 yd) |
Bias binding is only needed for curved or scalloped edges; straight-grain strips are fine for square corners.
