The binding on Autumn Coneflower 2 was finished about 8:30 last night. I decided to wait until today to photograph it on the design wall.
I chose this fabric for the binding of the bright flannel quilt. It feels like suede but is actually a twill weave cotton. When I bought it I thought it was flannel. It is 58" wide.
I did the binding on this one all by machine because it will likely get a lot more wear and be washed more often. So, now I have 2 to photograph.
What a pretty backing/binding for the flannel! Two great finishes—will be fun to see their final photos! -Roxanne
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on the quilts ,I don't think I've ever seen more beautiful vibrant colors of flannel & I absolutely luv the backing!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the flower binding looks in the folded quilt picture, almost like polka dots. Binding by machine goes faster than hand sewing but it does mean arm wrestling the quilt through the machine twice…..
ReplyDeleteNothing as satisfying as binding done and a folded finish. Both look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour binding choice is great and you are dipping into some of your more "vintage" fabric. At 58" wide, though, you have a lot left of that cut.
ReplyDeletegreat looking binding from that dark fabric - you will use it if you hold on to it long enough - 1996 on that edging wow
ReplyDeleteGood deal finishing the binding!! I really like that flowery flannel--so pretty...
ReplyDelete39 here and sky is full of gray clouds--we await the forecasted heavy rains later on and will be watching F1 in the late morning hugs, Julierose
You were *bound* and determined to get these done! Hooray! Enjoy the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly chose perfect binding fabrics for these two marvelous quilts. I'm with you on machine quilting binding on both sides for quilts that will get lots of love and are likely to be 'over-frolicked'!!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Rainy day here and to my surprise, I awoke with a fever of 100.5*, then it went down and now it's 100.7*F and I feel crummy so am unlikely to accomplish much of anything today. Bother!
Germ-free hugs!
The cotton twill suede like fabric will made a nice sturdy binding for a quilt that will get a lot of use. That little print looks really good with the flannels. Congratulations on two more finishes!
