Boring binding ?

I am guest posting at  Sew We Quilt today!   Come on over and check it out! :)
I am talking about binding. Do you think it is boring ? I thought so for 10 years. But not anymore!
There is a giveaway too!

After months of staying folded in the closet, I finally managed to bind this quilt.

  14. Hi! I've come over from stash manicure. Your quilts are gorgeous and I LOVE your binding. I actually did pieced binding on one of my very first projects out of necessity- I didn't have enough yardage for one color.

    My question, since yours look so perfect. Do you worry that the two lengths when they join together (start/finish) will be the exact same? How do you measure that out? Or do you just let that spot be a little different from the rest?

  15. Geta - - Your quilts are beautiful!! I love the colors and the patterns! I think the blocks quilt with the plain binding is my favorite! How long did it take you to quilt it? I love the different directions you used!!

    I'm your newest follower - for now!! Get ready for a bunch more!!

    Thank you so much for your post on Sew We Quilt!! Great Job!!

    Hugs ~~ Suz

  38. Greetings from Alabama, USA!! Loved your post today at Sew We Quilt and your tips were wonderful. I read some of your other blog posts. I have never heard of the singer you love so much. I guess the world is a big place and somehow we think about or know only the things and people in our small sphere of influence. Thanks for reminding me their are more singers around the world than just the ones here in America.
