I have finished the little quilt top I mentioned the other day!! I had enough the wrinkly gray fabric to create a binding. I cut it 2.5" wide and folded & ironed it in half. I stitched a single edge to the front of my quilted top and then folded it over the edge and then folded in another quarter inch and pinned it over the stitch line. My corners are soft and rounded. Not sure what exactly I did wrong but I will investigate and see what I need to do differently for next time. For this time around they are soft and rounded and that will be fine. I used dark thread on the top and stitched in the ditch from the front. I did have a few places where I missed the fabric on the back - less than last time - so I will have to be more careful with my next one though I am considering not stitching in the ditch and actually stitching on the front edge which should guarantee that I do not miss the backing. It is trial and error!! Proficiency comes with experience and repetition!! This quilt finished at 36" x 46". I used a cotton polyester fabric as a batting and a gray with soft stripes sheet on the back. Glad to have given this little quilt a chance to bless another person in the world. It will be headed to the Linus Project when things get back to "normal". Therese
