Mitered Corners on Binding

12/8/2017

It seems as I do more designs, that having different outside colors of borders on the quilts means that the binding should also have different colors. When the colors meet in the corners, this then requires a miter on the binding. I haven't seen anyone else's method for this so there may be a better way. However, this is how I do it. Enjoy!

This is the binding on Geese Galore, a pattern in American Quilter magazine's January 2018 issue. ​ ​Use the
size of binding strip you are comfortable with - I usually use a 2-1/4” strip. I always cut binding across
the width of fabric and join the strips together at 45 deg.
Press the binding strip in half lengthwise, then sew to the front of the quilt - I like to use 3/8” seam
allowance. When you get to a corner, stop 3/8” before the corner. Repeat in the other direction so both
fabrics are sewn to exactly the same spot.
