I need 17.5" of this narrow stripe fabric for the binding and I have 18" so I will be cutting it very carefully. I think I might put a Kaffe stripe on the back because it is so soft and would make the quilt feel very lightweight. I'm working at the quilt shop again this morning so I won't sew until afternoon. I'm also trying to rearrange my main floor studio to the winter configuration. I don't want to sit by the window in the winter. If we get the winter they are predicting I think I will be in the studio a lot. I will not drive on snow and ice unless absolutely necessary. When I was younger I drove anywhere anytime. I'm older and wiser now.
