Binding Bliss


As much as I hate basting quilts, I equally love the binding stage. Firstly it's something that can leisurely be done while watching TV, and secondly it means that you are almost finished the quilt!

If you pick a busy fabric like I did for this binding, you don't even see the stitches as they are hidden amongst all that busyness.


Of course, be careful not to miss the binding and stab your cuticle instead, or you too could have a nice line of blood around your nail...

...beautiful choice for the binding. Is that Kaffe? I have been doing my all-machine-made quilts' bindings on the machine as well, from start to finish. I am perfecting the doing of it now.
