Day 6
I spent the morning cutting binding strips
from the leftover inner border fabrics...
When Ralph is involved...
my productivity at the sewing machine
isn't what it could be!
Every now and then I need to move him off the
quilt so I can stitch the bindings down.
I was lucky to have enough leftover fabric
for the bindings:
Quilt 1
The scrappy gray binding
is just the right finish.
At this point the quilts have been
washed and dried twice...
They are so soft and oh so cuddly for a baby...
The raw edges washed up nicely...
Quilt 2
I always put a machine sewn binding
on baby quilts.
Baby quilts get so much use and so many
washings that a machine binding
is the best choice.
I topstitch it from the top side
with a decorative stitch.
I wish you could feel how
soft and yummy these are!
Creating baby quilts is good for the soul.

Your baby heart quilts are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely gorgeous! Finished up beautifully - they make we want to stroke the screen! Good work!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. I have been reading your in process posts and love that technique. I should do a raw edge.
ReplyDeleteI ordered the French Roses pattern after seeing yours and I can't wait to start pulling fabrics. Your baby quilts are just darling and are sure to be treasured for years to come!
ReplyDeleteTHese came out great!! I will take note about using a decorative stitch for the binding...i like that idea...especially for baby quilts. :)
