Do you make your own binding?

Same as Deb, usually 2 1/4", folded and hand sewn on the back.
Same here, cut either 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 depending on the piece.

I make mine now, but I used to buy the packaged binding. I like that when I make my own I can make bindings from prints and make sure the colors really match, and also it's cheaper. Plus, when I used the packaged stuff, I usually had a spot or two on the back that didn't get caught by the stitches, and I'd have to go back and fix it.
I usually cut my strips 2" and fold in half. I like a very narrow binding.

I always make my own binding. I want it to be as much a part of the quilt as the rest. I could never buy binding that really matched the quilt unless it was premade from the same fabric. I can make it much cheaper than buying it.
