Preparing your binding strips!

This is meant to be a simple and quick tutorial.  

Cut the binding strips. 
Place two strips ends at a right angle over lap them, with right side together.  Draw a diagonal line.

 Stitch on your drawn line.
 Cut 1/4 inch from your stitching line. Remember to cut on the correct side of your stitching line.
Press the seam open.  Remember this is a bias edge, so press with care.  This reduces any bulk when stitching your binding on to your quilt.
You can cut your 'dog ears' off.  Now you need to repeat if you require your binding to be longer.
