String Quilt Binding


My String quilt is back from Eleni's, who again did a beautiful quilting!


It's now time to prepare it for binding. As I have added a neutral beige sashing, I thought that a busy binding, recalling a fabric I used in several blocks, would be fine.


I trim the sides.


The binding is done and I will sew it as explained in MY TUTORIAL.


For the back of the quilt, as usual, I will hand sew the binding, as explained in my other TUTORIAL .


Listening to music, I relax and I sew, really enjoying this phase of the whole quilting.


Almost finished!


I think I like it!

Enjoy your Sunday stitches!
Christine

    Hello firs time here ,your string quilt is awesome, especially on that wonderful chunky wooden dinning room set. The quilt would look so good hanging behind your buffet !! It brings the wood out..Lovely...

    truly beautiful, really! My love of scraps is completely satisfied in this quilt; however, I am seeing flying geese in the baby quilt in your newer post, and they are drawing me also. Whew, never enough time!
