Not Finished Quilt But USED all the Time

I hate to say, but, I use this quilt and it's not finished... it's been SO long that is SO flat

I even put the binding on it, 

because it fits a table I have and having it on it makes me happy. It measures about 40" x 40" 

It's machine pieced 

and Not hand quilted YET ! 
Some day??? Maybe??

I'm showing the back, it's been washed a number of times, I use a 1/4" seam allowance always, you never know what your quilts will be doing for you.

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 !
