Love the wide binding! I have noticed them in satin on baby quilts. My brain went straight to no batting inside, thinking if I leave 2 1/2 inches of batting untrimmed from top. But still sew on 1/4 on the top... Then when turned, binding would be filled!. You always inspire me! Thank you!

Oh Jenny! I could just KISS you!! I hate binding quilts. My mum used to do the handwork and lovingly blind-stich all the bindings on my children's baby quilts by hand. That was over 35 years ago... and I miss still her (and her amazing hand work.) I have actually crocheted baby blankets for my grand babies because I knew I would have to back and bind quilts. I feel a few grandbaby quilts coming on. You're a gem!

I want you all to know that if you use 2 flannel fabrics for the front and back, you can assemble the blanket--just as Jenny does here but without the quilting--and when it's all put together, quilt the two non-binding flannel layers together. I do it all the time for beautiful small baby quilts and have done twin-size as well. The flannel "sticks" together so nicely , there's no problem with shifting. I always press the two fabrics together---WHEN STILL INSIDE-OUT, BEFORE turning the blanket right-sides out. Turn right-sides out, smooth the two layers together with your hands. I always do the smoothing on my ironing board and iron as I smooth. And I always start smoothing and pressing on the EDGE OPPOSITE the edge with the opening. This works nicely for getting the opening nice and tucked in. I then "quilt" the blanket---not the binding--and finish with a pretty decorative stitch all the way around on the binding where the binding meets the blanket. The blankets look so "finished" with the quilting. (I call my finished goods "blankets," not "quilts" because some people are such sticklers insisting that "quilts" always have batting.) Besides looking really good, these two-layer blankets are light weight, which is nice: the flannel is so wrap-able around an infant or toddler. And, for bigger kids, the two layers of flannel makes a nice light weight blanket for Arizona summers.

0:03 I’m at a loss as to how the batting winds up in the binding, if all the edges are stitched evenly together. Guess I’m just going to have to try it and see. I have done this technique for table runners and no batting, and I love the look and ease of the project.

That’s beautiful. I create self binding by not trimming off the excess backing from the quilt sandwich after I finish quilting, I trim only the batting, making it even or maybe a 1/2” past the quilt top. I then trim the backing to about 1” all around. Then fold it halfway in on itself then fold over onto the front of the quilt and top stitch in place. Not the best protected edge, but it looks like regular binding from the front and is super fast.

@Laurie Larrison: Hi, Laurie, Jenny hasn't answered my question re the size of the backing. Maybe you can help. She said that the backing needs to be 10" larger than the quilt. Well, 10" larger in length and 10" larger in width? Just saying 10" doesn't make sense. Anyway, I hope you don't mind, but she wasn't clear and she didn't reply to my question. Since you have been sewing for 56 years and have made a few quilts, maybe you can answer my question. I would really appreciate it. Thanks and have a good day. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

@@olgachanachowicz2861 Yes. 10” larger in both directions, bc you’ll need the flange on all four sides. So that will be 5” larger on each side, but when the quilt is finished, it will be about 2 1/2” larger on each side bc that extra fabric must cover the back, as well as the front.

One might think I had beginners luck but I made a few more since & they came out just as great so i promise this technique works and You end up with nice crisp mitered corners. ( I even made one out of Cuddle or Minky fabric & it turned out great too) I haven't made a bigger one this way yet but if the top and back were secured by tying or something Im sure it would work.

With an extra wide binding, a person could get creative with the quilt design in the border!

This works with the even easier way of doing corners that you taught as well, only when you measure up from your 45 degree line only measure up half of the extra width and then add 1/4". Example, I cut my backing 3" bigger for both length and width but on the corners I only went up 1/2 of that for the height of that measurement, adding 1/4" for seaming. Works out perfectly and gives you just under 1 1/2" turnover on the front. For a smaller turnover, I'm guessing one could cut the measurement a bit more. IT was a lot of fun and I may finish all of my quilts that way now. Thank you Jenny!

You would have to play with the measurements for the backing fabric...but make your quilt top bigger - like add a 3" border...add your batting to the edge of the border. Then sew the backing to the front with a deep seam - like an inch seam - I think your box in the corner would be one inch to match your seam... Miter your corners. Turn. You would end up with a 2" border and a 1" binding that has batting. You would just need to do some figuring about how much bigger your backing fabric has to be - maybe only 1.5"?

@@dotjohnson4247 that’s what I am trying to figure out. Because I don’t have enough backing, so I’m going to sew extra fabric onto the back of my quilt, and somehow fold it over but I want the batting to be in that binding

Bravo. And this video appears unscripted- to think, speak, sew, cut, turn, measure while speaking to an audience is an art in itself. Great technique for quilting too. Thanks for sharing.

Are the 10 inches added to the length or width of the quilt size? Example: Quilt top is 35X45. Do I cut 45X55 for back?

I've done this on flannel baby blankets but I sew at least a 1/2" to 5/8" seam around the edge instead of a 1/4". This gives me a little more room for ironing back the opening and then stitching close to the seam and then 3/8 around again for a more finished look.

Jenny, you are do fun to watch. And so creative! I'm wondering if I could add a border before quilting, leave 1/2" unquilted all the way around. Then leave an inch of batting all around that is larger than the quilt top. Id make the backing only 2.5" larger than the top for a narrower binding. Then I could attach the backing to the unquilted edge of the top border. When I turn it right side out, Hopefully my border and binding would have batting to the edge of the quilt. I might need to try it on a simple table topper or baby quilt first. Anyone tried something similar? This is such a great idea, but I'm missing the batting under that wider binding.

I have done this many times. Carefully trim the batting and only have the back fabric at 2 1/2” all the way around. I actually like the binding better that way.

Why not add the border to the quilt front, with it’s batting behind it. Then just attach the back as shown

You could sew all the way around if you left an opening in the backing seam to use for turning the quilt rightside out.
