And now I am binding

I finished the quilting on yesterday's quilt and then cut binding for 2 others that I quilted last week. I started the binding on my dotted quilt. Click here to see the top before the border was added. I finally found the perfect border for it and a backing on sale. It originally had 168 different dotted fabrics. Now it has 170 with the border and back. The binding is one that was already in the quilt.


I have almost 3 sides hand sewn down. It is amazing how nice sharp needles work. A couple of my readers sent me needles to try so I will know what to buy. I threw away the needles that I had been using for a couple years.

It was fun to hear all of the ways the readers described themselves as quilters. I think it is still the hardest to describe to non quilters. When I see their eyes glaze over I just excuse myself and walk away.
