Quilt, Hand Quilted and All Done

I've been hand quilting for quite a bit on this, it's what I've been taking to my Monday quilt group and it's now all done.

When I was teaching this is my beginner's quilt 5 week class, the class would have been 2 1/2" squares, I cut mine down for a table topper size.

HERE is my binding tutorial for you 

On a regular size quilt, I would cut my binding strips 2 1/2" wide, but on this little one, I cut them 1 1/4" wide.

I like, little quilts to have little binding.

All the sewing is the same, 1/4" seam allowance.

But, I like to trim the backing and batting about in half.

This is before the binding is turned and sewn down. You can turn it under and see what you like before trimming around the entire quilt.  I like to hand sew the binding down, I can get the corners, better and yes, you will have to mess with them a bit to get them perfect, they are VERY tiny. 

The Before

The After

Have to LOVE hand quilting ! 

AGAIN, here is my tutorial on binding and how to hand sew it !

  IN PRINT a GREAT GIFT  Husband and I retired early, he was 57, and I was 55. Most people hear us say our ages and they ask, “What do you do all day?” VERY, very rarely do they ask, “How do you afford it?” This book has NO money talk, it’s all about happiness.   Now in Print and eBook  ! !  To me that is hilarious: before retirement you plan financially, you plan the date, but you don’t take time to figure out what you want to do for 20-30 years of retirement. I have seen it now for five years. How to Survive Retirement   PLEASE retire happy! “If you are unhappy….us other old people don’t want to be around you.”
