Assuming straight-grain binding. For bias binding or very bulky quilts, consider adding a little more extra length.
Formulae: C = 2×(W+L). B = C + extra. Usable width = fabric width − selvedge (if selected). N = ceil(B ÷ usable width). Q = T × N. O = Q converted to cm, rounded up to the nearest 25 cm (¼ m).
