I just could not figure out how to connect the two binding ends at the tail end and I actually chopped those up sort of funny and then I just sewed it down in whatever way I could manage--and it does look wonky in that one spot but I guess at least it looks homemade for real--right?Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016797249117225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-59828267768580946672011-06-12T12:49:00.038-07:002011-06-12T12:49:00.038-07:00the fact that you even added binding makes me bow ...the fact that you even added binding makes me bow down to you! i just stitch around the edges...heehee.

My first was a picnic quilt and I tied it, because picnic quilts should be tied IMHO ;) <br />I'm working on a Denyse Schmidt quilt right now- Single Girl. I'm so excited to finish it!<br />I can't wait to see which pattern you decide to use.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357955223658308444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-24170677407037843492011-06-10T06:57:44.158-07:002011-06-10T06:57:44.158-07:00Looks great!

Of course, it is a pretty basic design. You should check out Denyse Schmidt's designs--she has some for sale on her website, but also has an entire book full of amazing quilt designs--this is where my next one is coming from.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016797249117225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-77582685065921071402011-06-09T21:52:44.648-07:002011-06-09T21:52:44.648-07:00neat! doesn't it feel good to get one under y...neat! doesn't it feel good to get one under your belt? i just finished my first one and posted about it today as well. did you use a particular blocking pattern for yours? i'm looking to find another design for my next one.faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358578739558034617noreply@blogger.com
