Almost There

This is a recap of Jeanne's Quilt towards the end.  Here's Alucard enjoying the comforts of the just quilted quilt. 

After Mr.Kitty took a nice nap on my quilt I began pinning the binding.  I used a new technique discovered in one of the blogs I read.  Previously, I would iron the binding in half and then fold it again so it was like the binding purchased in the store.  Not only is it a lot of work but it is difficult to sew on the quilt without looking uneven or just yucky. 

The new technique...I cut a 4" binding and folded it in half once (didn't even iron it).  It was pinned in place and sewed on.  The fold just flips over to the back.  Then I quilted in-the-ditch on the front binding.  It was attached in just the right place so I could sew in-the-ditch and catch the back binding. What a perfect technique!  When I remember where I saw it I will give credit to the artist.
