Binding almost made

Last night at Monday sew-in, I cut and almost finished my binding prep for my red and green round robin.  I found the same green that someone used in that narrow outer border and I'm using the Faux Piped technique to create a stuffed piped effect with my 2 color binding.

I have info on my blog about how to do this but a quick overview. ..  I cut my piping color strips @ 1 5/8"  and the binding color at 1 3/8".  When joined this creates 2 1/2" binding.  Press that seam allowance toward the piping color to create bulk when folded in half.  That step creates the piped look and feel.  Or if you want a flat flange you would press toward the binding color.
