Blu, Quilted

I spent most of the holiday weekend sewing the binding on the Blu diamond quilt. I took beauty shots of the quilt hanging from my neighbor's deck.

At one point, my neighbor called out, "Hey wait, you forgot the Beauty in your shot," and then jumped behind the quilt. His wife and I cracked up.

Beauty is clearly in the eye of the beholder. To wit:

 Like I said.

I'll take door number two.

Binding Blu

I decided I wanted a light binding for the Blu diamond quilt.

So last night I made the binding, and got it sewn on to the whole quilt.

Now all I have to do... ("all", hahahahaha) is pin it to the front and hand sew it down. 

And if you think, "oh, wasn't she lucky, the binding doesn't cover the points of those diamonds," think again. It's called p-l-a-n-n-i-n-g.




Every time I bind a quilt, somebody has a question. I put all my answers in my tutorial, available at my Etsy shop. It includes all my tips and tricks to get your bindings to look like mine. It's basically everything you ever wanted to know about putting a binding on a quilt. Including all the little things nobody tells you.

Blu

This is Blu, the diamond quilt I made last summer. It has also been quilted.

I'll put a binding on it and send it to its new home, which is a surprise.
