The Pinning quilting and trimming frenzy the last little
while gives me the opportunity to bind up
some quilts and finish some projects.
I am also attending my first sew day with a new guild!
First up is yellow softer granny squares.
This top received a nice binding that
matches the back of the quilt.
The soft yellow color is quite saturated and
highlights the yellow squares.
Stay stitching and trimming up the edges of
the quilt really make applying the binding much easier.
All my bindings are done by machine. I start by
applying a straight of grain 2 1/2 " strip, folded in half.
Then it is flipped to the front and top stitched
down using the stitch in the ditch foot.
The needle position is the far right. The foot gives a nice even
placement of the seam line.
The application of the binding by machine
really encourages me to finish up tops.
Next up is a twin size multi colored wonky log cabin.
This quilt is getting a binding straight out of the scrap bags.
I dug in and found an assortment
of two and a half inch strips and sewed
them end to end to make
a nice multi colored binding.
It turned out nicely framed
and very complimentary!
Stay safe, and sew on.
