I knew it was going to be close, especially when I completed the 4th corner. I stopped and measured, and the tiny piece laying on the batting was all that was left after I cut the strip before stitching the final join of the batting!
Whew.......

CUTTING IT CLOSE!
When I was packing to come south, I chose some Christmas prints to provide backing and binding for my Christmas projects. I used a black background fabric with candy canes to back the largest of 3 panels on my next "use it up project". After checking my southern stash and my pre-cut strip bins, I had nothing that would be appropriate for the binding on this project. I knew that there wasn't much of the backing fabric left, but I decided to cut the strips for binding and hope for the best.

Haha! Awesome :) I love it when it works out like that. Like when the bobbin thread runs out JUST as you finish the last stitch on a quilt. (Instead of the usual three inches before the end!)
