Binding

I had a productive weekend. I got all four quilts squared up and I made and sewed down one edge of the binding.


I had some Silent Cinema left over from this 2011 quilt, so used it.


I decided to use the blue-grey of the background in this binding with a few pieces of the brighter blue added for colour.


This quilt forced me to visit Ribbon Rose where I was very tempted by the Kaffe purple with red spots, but went with this black and white-grey egg fabric instead.


And for the bee trees, I was going to go with brown but the only big enough piece of brown I had in the stash was too red. As I was cutting off the excess batting and backing, I thought 'why not just use this?' So I did.

    Looks like you have lots of handstitching the bindings down ahead of you now. Can't wait to see the all at show and tell.
