Finish It Up Friday ~ Tree of Life

Finally! This quilt has been in the works forever.

And it isn’t even that big! Just about 54 inches square.

I can actually say that I’m happy with the binding on this one.

I stitched it to the front, pressed away from the body of the quilt, then used my clips to hold it in place. I sewed it from the front in the ditch.

I’m not crazy about the back, but it won’t show hanging on the wall and I didn’t have to go back and restitch anywhere.

It’s now hanging in my hallway.

Have a great day

    have you ever tried school glue stick

    i sew to front like you

    iron away turn quilt over run the glue stick on binding fold it over and run iron down strip as i fold it over just coveting the stitch line so when you turn back ovet and stitch in ditch you are atching back of binding and if you want added security can do a stitch that has a little jump over (sr moment cant think of stitch i want to say) and my binding is 2 3/8
