I've dedicated today to finishing a special UFO. This one is a custom order that (I'm embarassed to say) is a couple months late! Yikes! Thankfully the recipient has been very understanding.
All I have left is the binding (ugh!) This quilt is a twin sized version of Flora and Fauna made with the fun and bright 'Amelia' by Me and My Sister. It turned out SO CUTE!
I'm almost done and then I do this. Seriously!? In case you can't tell, I sewed the ends of my binding strips together- twisted. Time to get out Jack (the ripper) and fix this quick.
HAPPY SEWING!
I love that line, such happy colors!
ReplyDeleteThat is why I always have two loose ends and wait with sewing them together till the end! This sucks! Lovely coloured quilt btw.
ReplyDeleteI USED to sew bindings on just like you did, until I changed to a different method - one where you NEVER have to join tails. It's an awesome method and I don't know why more people don't use it. Please visit my blog to see my free tutorial (under "Nine Quilt-y Tutorials" on the menu bar). I assure you I'm NOT selling a thing. Just trying to spread the word, "There's a much better way to sew on binding!"
ReplyDelete"Jack" the ripper, you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteI love that name "Jack the ripper". Can I use it too! Isn't that the best form of flattery. I'm looking forward to a solids pattern. I've never made one.
