Bias Binding for Double Wedding Ring

What size do you cut your Bias Binding for a Double Wedding Ring? I am going to quilt a Double Wedding Ring Quilt and was wanting your opinions. I usually cut binding 2 1/4 inch, but don't know about Double Wedding Ring. I think I saw or read somewhere that you cut it 2 inches. You input appreciated. Thank You.

hmmmm...I don't have a clue but I'm anxious to see what you find out. Does it need to be a different size because of the scallops or some other reason?? Just curious.

I usually use 2 1/4 then fold in half for my bindings...but for working in the curves you don't want a lot of excess...so let us know what you decide.

Hi, Thank yopu for coming by my blog..
I did a double wedding ring quilt for our 40th anniversary.
First off you must cut the binding on the bias, to go around the curves, and I cut mine 2 inches wide then fold in half,, stitch it on with a scant 1/4 inch seam..this makes a nice neat firm and full binding..
