Binding Day

The baby quilt is quilted and bound! I can't believe how quickly I finished this one. I finished the quilt top on Sunday. I loaded and quilted it yesterday. The binding went on today! The shower is coming up so I had to finish it as soon as I could.

Look what else I finished! I decided to get the binding finished on this as well. The machine was all set up with a walking foot so I thought I would just get it done. It's so hot today that I decided to just stay in on my day off. This quilt took quite a bit longer to bind than the baby quilt. The curves and the squared off areas made the whole process rather slow but I just kept going. I had a good amount of iced coffee to get me through!

I don't think you can see the fabric I used for the binding. It's not quite as dark as this picture. I had a hard time picking a fabric that would match the many fabrics used in this vintage quilt. I happened to run into Debby Brown who is a HandiQuilter educator. She helped me pick this out. It was perfect!!

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
