Taunting Fabric

 I blogged about this quilt I got started
Back in July of 2015 here.
But things happened and I kind of lost interest and got busy, and this quilt was taunting me, wanting to be finished. 

And today I finished it! It has been sitting over on the sewing table taunting me. I guess I showed it a thing or two!!

 I did a kind of sloppy meander all over to get it done!

 Sometimes, you just need to finish! And I always plan for my quilts to be used, not just looked at, so it will be durable.

 I do love this fabric, but I'm glad it's not giving me that unfinished glare any more!

 And here it is all washed up and ready to cuddle.

I turned out good and I think this is my favorite binding ever!

All Bound Up

 So, I finally finished binding this triangle quilt. I used the scraps I had left over and I cut it in that nice 3" width. What a rebel I am!

It looks good doesn't it!

3 Inches is Better

So you know I've been dinking around with this baby play quilt. For awhile-hey, I had some distractions...
anyways, it is done now.

 The big news though is this. 3 inches is better. So many quilt patterns and plans call for 2 1/2" binding strips. I was always fussing with them.

 I couldn't get good corners. I was really struggling to get the look I wanted using my favorite all machine stitched binding.

 But easy as can be, use 3" strips, and LOOK! good corners, good coverage, looking good!

 I love this 3" binding.

I guess that just goes to show ya, that those fancy smancy quilt patterns don't always have the best way to do things! There's MY way! LOL.
