But...I probably should, just so I can stay organized. One of these days! I do love binding...the part I actually like the least right now is sandwiching (mostly because I don't have a good place to do it) and quilting (mostly because I need practice and my space for it is not ideal). But binding...I love binding, especially sewing it by hand on the back. It means I've actually finished something, which seems a rarity. I prefer homemade bias binding, and my go-to site for that is http://pir8.freeservers.com/quilting/CBT/ and I've taken to making enough for multiple quilts at a time. I do straight of grain binding, too, especially when I'm short on fabric or if the fabric print direction calls for it (or if I want to reuse jelly roll strips and just cut them down, since I like a 2.25" binding starting width.) Naming is hard...I tend to name my quilts based on who they are for, or the name of the design plus the color, but now I'm going to think about that for when I do eventually post a post like this! See you tomorrow?<br />Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129822128164340288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102628749151719799.post-60689307014345819062012-10-11T00:08:26.256-04:002012-10-11T00:08:26.256-04:00Wow!

I'm going to look up Leah's video and get back to quilting!Aubrie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290773685010641765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102628749151719799.post-68952384434977631722012-10-10T18:29:39.994-04:002012-10-10T18:29:39.994-04:00OMGosh girl!

Did I ever mention I freakin' love binding?? I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it is finally seeing a project complete. I prefer working with bias binding, always making my own(never store bought).Bias alwas comes out looking better for me than straight. Not sure why. Leah has a great video on how to attach it. Good luck!Danih03https://www.blogger.com/profile/06038011201802847978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102628749151719799.post-18057081287614502662012-10-10T10:54:31.337-04:002012-10-10T10:54:31.337-04:00Great projects and love all the animal blocks!Great projects and love all the animal blocks!Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104447915995814288noreply@blogger.com
