Finished Top and Bias Binding Made
Last night I added the borders to Friends on Chelsea Lane so the quilt top is now complete. The fabric kit also contained the fabric for binding so this morning I prepared the binding for the quilt. Now to figure out how I want to quilt this. It will join the to be sandwiched pile for the next time I take down the flannel sheet and start sandwiching . I choose to use a bias binding. Its not really that necessary but the flowers will look nice rolling over the edge. I started with a large square of fabric (27.5 inches) and folded it in half twice to make a small triangle The triangle gets pressed to give markings but as I worked I noticed I don't use those markings any more so I think next time I might skip the second fold. Cut the square in half along one of the diagonals. I'm using the line I pressed as well as the 45 degree line on the roller to get my cutting line. Once its cut in half, take the bottom right triangle and lay it on top of the othe
