I need a little more info on that beautiful quilt hang above the bed too!
The amount of binding was certainly worth it Joan (easy for me to say,
huh?)...that's a beautiful quilt on the bed!

I want to know what you used for the backing also! I know what you
mean about the binding - any tricks to omit those seemingly extra
corners that suddenly appear when you think that you have reached #4
already? jennellh

That is a great quilt Joan! I love it. Have you any idea how many squares it
took as I have been cutting up 2 1/2 squares and am up to about 700 atm.Was
hoping it might be enough for 2 singles with sashing.

I've started to begin sewing down my binding just before a corner. It seems
to make "fewer" corners! You can then zoom down the homestretch with all
the corners finished. Just a mental trick.

Not Joan, but it's pretty easy to calculate. A 2.5" square will finish
to 2". If a quilt is 100" x 100", it is 50 squares wide by 50 squares
long. So there are 50x50=2500 squares in the quilt. A standard twin-size
mattress is 39"x76", so a twin size quilt might be about 60"x90". That
would 30x45=1350 squares without any sashing. Looks like you've got
some cutting to do
