Binding

Yeah, the quilting on this baby is done!  The binding is sewn on and ready for hand sewing it to the back.  I wonder how many movies it will take to get it done?!  This is a big quilt, 96 inches square.  That's 384 inches around; I usually take 1/4 inch stitches, so that's, oh my gosh, over 1500 stitches that I have to do for the binding!  My hand is going to cramp for sure!  Oh, well, better get busy!

  1. The binding always takes me awhile. Because I sew it while I am watching TV. I some that is still waiting on me.

  2. You have me beat by about 40 inches. I'm sewing the binding on my 9-patch snowball quilt. Started tonight and hope to be done by Monday evening. I like to pace myself. Do you have a deadline?

  3. No deadline, just need to get it done as soon as possible. Another commissioned quilt is waiting in line before we move in May!

  5. I know what you mean! When I try to finish the binding on the sewing it twists, bunches up and looks terrible. Take some breaks and post a pic when you finish.
    By the way, thanks for following my blog and posting comments. I like feedback.
