I was slightly nervous, but also really excited because I had never done a jagged edge binding before. It was pretty difficult because those hexies are like 1 inch per side so the binding is a little thick. I ended up sort of sewing the points in while doing the hand sewing part so that it would lay flatter. I am more or less satisfied with the result and the requester was overjoyed, so pretty much a success!

This counts as a double old finish because I was done with the binding back in like early May. I'm going to blame the newest addition to my menagerie for the delay in posting. Say hello to Pancake!
Linking to Finish it Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts
Wow! This quilt is beautiful and your binding looks great! I EPP'd a full-size grandmother's flower garden quilt in 2001-2002. I started hand-quilting it and got distracted by so many other quilts. I was concerned about the binding, but after seeing yours I hope to get to that part soon and finally have a finished quilt. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I can't imagine the hours of work that must have gone into that quilt. It is beautiful, and the binding -- wow!
ReplyDeleteWow, bet that took a while! Way to stick it out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on the GFG! It gives me hope of finishing mine someday. And Pancake is absolutely adorable!

I love the quilt binding! And Pancake is an adorable distraction.
ReplyDeleteHello, Pancake! That quilt is definitely a beauty. Your binding looks very professionally done. I can't imagine how much work it must have taken to get through all those corners. That's a good thing because I'll (hopefully) soon be binding one my grandmother made. I was thinking of cutting it to have straight edges, but now I can see that it's doable, I'll give it a go!
