How much fabric for bias binding?

Recommended Posts

I've got a DWR quilt to bind, and need to tell my customer how much fabric to purchase. Since it has rounded edges and everything, the binding will need to be cut on the bias, but how do I figure out how much to purchase?

The quilt top measures 66"X80". I believe that my fabric calculator is telling my 5/8ths yard for binding (the screen is damaged after I dropped it on the cement floor)

Thanks for you help!

I did a quick calculation and you would need about 18" for regular binding based on 2 1/2" wide. If you are cutting it on the bias I would probably suggest 1 yard minimum which will allow you to use the longest pieces possible with the fewest amounts of joins. This is just what I would do.
