And I did the same thing on the first one! I can recut and repin this one...does it really make a big difference? To me the 1 inch width balances the quilt better. But maybe there is a reason for a narrow binding. Help, please! (by the way, thank you all so much for all the inspiration and advice. I love this board!!)
By the way, this quilt measures 38X44.

To answer cherrybsixty, the 38X44 quilt was from my stash. The one from the kit was a bit smaller. I realized that I prewashed my own fabric before I cut it, and that was the difference! It was about 1-2 inches larger.
