    Question Bias binding

    Is there an easy way to estimate the amount of bias binding needed for a scalloped edge?

    Doris - measure one of the scallops. Multiply that number by the number of scallops around the quilt. Add a yard for margin of error. That should cover it all and give you some little extra to use on some pot holders that you didn't know you were going to make this week.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Oh, Doris - I was just being my old crazy self (I always doubt what I figure the first time and add more to be safe). I don't think you would need to add over a foot and only then just to be on the safe side.

    Let us see what it looks like when you're finished!!
