Looks like I'm all alone at 2 inches! I like a small binding! I'm gonna have to break my rule soon. I want to master doing the whole binding by machine. I have not been able to send a quilt out the door yet with one of my machine bindings. Prolly the recipient would never know..but I do!

If I have blocks around the outside, I use 2 1/4 and sew with 1/4 so I do not lose the points. If I have a solid border, I will use 2 1/2 and sew on with 3/8-1/2 inch. I then turn to the back and sew by hand. I like my bindings to be full to the edge.

For me, it depends on the quilt and the thickness of the batting, but I usually do 2.5 inches also. I recently made scrappy binding from some 2.5" Jelly Roll strips left over from other projects...quick and easy binding!
