Judy G: thank you we will try that and let you know how we do

Ripped on Scotch

I've done one. It was a while ago now though I love the way it turned out. I know the directions are listed in Sharon pederdon's reversible quilt books . Good luck

I have never thought of two tone binding. Thanks for sharing the info. I will try it on my next project.

[quote=Maride]Take the binding width you always use, divide by two and add 1/4 inch to each strip.

Example:

If you always use a binding 2.5 inches wide, cut two strips that are 1.25 + .25 =1.5 each

This didn't work for me because it still makes both sides even, so when you fold the binding, the front color shows on the front AND back. You need to have a narrower front side and wider back side for it to be reversible. The best example I found is to cut the front binding 1" and the back one 2", then sew together using your 1/4" seam. This way the back is wide enough to show in the back and have some to tuck in. I hope this makes sense.
