My first encounter with irregular edges was many many moons ago when I was hand piecing a hexagon quilt. I was so frightened by the concept of inside and outside corners that I meandered off and conjured up my own finishing method. A few years later and I'm a little braver, but only just...
In the spirit of actually finishing projects that I start, I gave inside and outside corner binding a try yesterday. I used tutorial at Trends and Traditions which worked well. I struggled slightly making the inside miters. My guess is the corners aren't sharp enough on the the tumblers to make them prominent. My a-ok outside corners make up for it though.
A small victory for the week.
Wowsers!!!! Gorgeous, absolutely love your colours here.
ReplyDeleteAmy, this is great!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I love the fabric mix and that quilting on the yellow is perfect. Haven't ever tackled inside outside corners, so I'll have to check out the link I think...

ReplyDeletewow. those prints combined with pattern combined with quilting...just wow. the binding is lovely, but i'm still reeling over the rest of the quilt.
ReplyDeletei used your finishing technique to finish my warm hexie quilt.
