Binding (verb)....

It's really been quiet on this board.  I know for a fact that many of you are still working on your blocks and we would love for you to share your progress.  

I put my quilt on hold because of the 100 degree weather, so today I decided to put the binding on my quilt.  It's 95 degrees out.  I know....don't ask...I don't have an  answer as to why I picked today to pick up this big and heavy quilt.  

Stitching....


Going around the curves....


Trimming....


Gosh, there's a lot of quilt here to handle....


All trimmed....


Attaching the clips....


Glad I chose to use a bias binding...especially for these curved corners.

Now I am going to sit and stitch that binding down.  

I intend to put a sleeve on this, a label and then start sending off my applications for quilt shows.  

Now...how about a sneak peek at how your's are coming along?
