But I rarely feel like making the effort of making bias binding. It's one of those things, which to me is a lot more work than it's worth. In fact, I often "cheat" and buy Moda bias bindings by the yard. It mostly comes in solids, and no stripes that I'm aware, but for really large quilts where I'm going to use a solid anyway, it's a great solution in my book.Charlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654576015036728600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-28836928329894391792013-12-18T17:46:36.839-06:002013-12-18T17:46:36.839-06:00It does look so pretty sitting there.

Your quilt and the binding you chose for it looks great. It looks like the binding is one of those beautiful, rich, Kaffe Fasset stripes. I am currently working on a quilt that is calling out for that as a binding since I used it as a constant on the front of the quilt. I was reluctant to use it since it feels like it has a much lower thread count than most quilting cottons, and I was afraid it would not hold up as well on the edge of the quilt. I even considered using it, but backing it with a layer of muslin or batiste. My quilts are not art pieces like yours are. They are large and functional. Obviously, you do not share my concern. Perhaps I should go for it. Have you used this type of fabric as a binding before?Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933263892737536339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-12208648954358862392013-12-18T15:56:31.002-06:002013-12-18T15:56:31.002-06:00So pretty, indeed!
