The Quilt Binding Struggle: Solved!

You’ve pieced your quilt top, quilted it beautifully, and squared it up. The finish line is in sight—until you realize you still need to bind it. That’s when the questions start:

Do I have enough of my preferred fabric?
Should I cut the strips lengthwise or widthwise?
How many strips do I need?

Now, you’re pulling out a calculator, doing the math, or cutting a few strips, laying them along the edges, then heading back to the cutting mat for more. It is what I usually do, until now! It’s not the hardest step, but what if you run out of fabric?
