When you buy the clover binding tool all the instructions are inside the package. There are lots of sizes to choose from. Just look at the tip of the tool and imagine it in half. That is the size it will turn out to be. I think I have every size they make so when I need binding, I can just go for it.

Awesome I will check into getting that tool.

They are really inexpensive henry. You will love how you can choose any color or pattern to put on your quilts.

By the way ... I love your finished wallhanging. Dang that was fast!

I vote red. I like to use a "darker" color for my binding. It seems that the binding gets dirtier faster and so I never use my lighter colors for binding.

Oh just saw that you finished it with the red!!
Great choice! It looks wonderful.

Good to see you on here again Henry!!!

henery, think of your binding as a picture frame, my rule of thumb is use the darkest color in your quilt as your binding, it helps keep your eye on the quilt. not straying off it. This really works, I did not do this on one of my quilts and now am sorry. This is some every artist knows, and isn't quilting an art?

red, very pretty quilt by the way...binding is also cheaper when you make it yourself...Call a quilt shop and they will probably show you how.....Great Job!
