My quilt top is pieced, and I am ready for quilting then binding. How much fabric do I need for backing and binding?
Head on over to Design/ Size A Quilt Calculator. Treat your quilt top like a giant block.
- Measure the width and length of the quilt top.
- In the Design / Size A Quilt Calculator, enter those measurements in the Block Width and Block Length fields.
- Where it asks for Blocks Across and Blocks down, enter “1” in each field.
- In the results, your Actual Quilt Width should be the measurements of your quilt top and the Number of Blocks should be “1”.
- Binding and backing fabric requirements and cutting instructions should be displayed.
