The Quilt Binding

Quilt in Progress
Here's the binding that will go around the edge of the quilt. It's cut on the bias, which I'd never done before, but it was actually easier to do than I'd imagined (there's a helpful video here). Now I just have to figure out how to piece together the back of the quilt (the plan is to use fabric that I already have) before basting the layers together with safety pins.

Ever since I started this quilt, in the back of my mind I've been wondering where in our little home there would be space for this. Well, it's looking like it might require moving some furniture out of the way so that I can stretch it out on the floor (fortunately, my husband is a very understanding man).

  2. How do you manage it, Shannon. Even a picture of the work you have ahead of you looks like art. The trim is delicious. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

  5. Oh, I'm always having to move a few pieces of furniture around when I go to baste my quilts too. I just love the way you wound your binding on the spool. So pretty that way!
