It's "Later..." I spent all afternoon and evening working on a block that I drafted for a Country Woman magazine block contest. I finally got the block the way I wanted it, but decided I had worked on that project long enough. So, I started the binding for the guild education project that I had decided to make on Saturday. I was able to cut and piece together the strips for the binding, but decided I would get a good nights rest before continuing with attaching it.
Today, I measured twice and cut once, as carpenter's are taught. I find that when I get in a hurry and don't remeasure, I make mistakes. I had to add a few more strips to get the needed length for the binding. I measured again before stitching the final bias seam, but left a length of fabric, just to be sure. I have had to tear out seams and add more fabric to a binding before because I measured incorrectly. This time, the binding went on the quilt edge like a charm. I completed the process the same as I decribed in my blog about binding using a 2-1/8" strip. I am very pleased with the results. Tonight, I will stitch the binding down and attach the prepared label. Pictures to follow...
Then. I'll have to go back to that block contest project to finish it.
