A Passion for Applique: Binding and Quilting

Binding and Quilting

This week I decided to work on some free motion quilting and sew on binding. I just finished my little star quilt from Temecula Quilt Co.

I would have finished it sooner but I just couldn't figure out what to do in the border. When I mentioned my dilemma to Missie she sent me a picture from her IPad. So I practiced on paper first. Because the fabric is busy it is hard to see but

here is a little bit of what I did. Thanks Missie!

I have all the binding sewn on my Hop To It quilt. Wait for It.........!!!!

It is a queen size quilt so it will take much longer to sew on than the star quilt.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
