  1. Choosing a Quilt Binding

    Choosing a quilt binding for your baby quilt should be done once the quilt is assembled. It is difficult to make a decision on what type of fabric should be used for the binding and how it will look on the quilt.

    Place your finished quilt top on either your design wall or lay it out on a bed or clean floor space. Now, you will be able to place potential binding fabrics alongside of the quilt top. Step back. Exchange fabrics and repeat.

    The quilt binding width needs also to be considered. If your choice of a baby quilt design is without borders, a ¼ inch wide binding is not only the easiest to sew but that width will match up with the ¼ inch seam allowance. This is standard in most baby quilts. If you choose a border, or a series of borders for your quilt, the size of the quilt binding is not a problem. It is just as simple to sew on a binding wider or narrower than ¼ inch, since the seam allowance will not matter.
