    I used to use 2.5" strips for everything, but an award-winning quilter (Padukah) encouraged me to move to 2.25". I was really afraid to try it, but I did and I think it's perfect. There's still plenty of binding to wrap. And my quilter friend says the "tighter" the binding, the more durable it is. I also like the look better.

    Thank you everyone for your input and suggestions. Because the loft wasn't so lofty I was able to use a 2.25" binding and also stitch in the ditch in the main body of the quilt.

    There was request for pictures so here are a few.

    It 's a safe bet that you will need at least 2.5, which is what I use on my quilts...

    If you make the strips ahead of time, make them three inches wide, so you will have some room to play in."you can always cut it down... But you can't add!

    turned out awesome! I have always used 2.25 when I cut my own. If in a pinch and I have a solid jelly roll I will use the 2.5 though. I agree the 2.25 looks better though!!

    What an awesome quilt!

    I always use fleece for quilt backs and loftier battings, so my quits are pretty thick, and I cut my binding strips 2.5"

    My son really liked the quilt. He takes better pictures than I can. Here it is displayed on his bed.
