Leanne, from Devoted Quilter is hosting the Lazy Summer Quilt Camp. She always has fun challenges and this one peeked my interest immediately!!!

Binding Beauty

Day 9: Today’s prompt is “Binding Beauty.”

I know I’m strange, but I do enjoy putting binding on a quilt. It’s the last step (and I often attach the label with the binding) and it’s nice to know that the end is in sight!

There are 3 bindings that I use regularly … and one occasionally

• First, a simple binding that coordinates with the quilt. All the same fabric
• A scrappy binding, using strips of varying lengths that are left-over from the quilt
• A flange binding
• Occasionally: a self binding, where I use the backing fabric and turn it onto the front of the quilt

All of my bindings are 2 ¹/₄” in width. I find that 2 ¹/₂” is just too wide and 2″ is a bit too tight (but will do in a pinch if I’m short on fabric.

This quilt has a simple binding … it’s the same fabric as the inner border. (you can read more about this quilt HERE)

This quilt is a fun one. I tested this “Starry Path” pattern for Brenda at Songbird Designs. (See HERE). And the binding is scrappy.

Flange quilts take a bit longer to do, but can be very effective!

Don’t Forget!
