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 On Feb 25, 12:24*pm, joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska wrote: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2832877.../set-721576036...

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. "joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska" wrote in message ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/2832877...7603636812065/ Boy, oh boy, that was a lot of binding! joan : |

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. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "jennellh" wrote in message ... I want to know what you used for the backing also!

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 Julia in MN ----------- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ ----------- Estelle Gallagher wrote: That is a great quilt Joan!
