Tweaking Time

The 'S' quilt is up on my design board for a while so I can let the arrangement settle in.

A Bit about Binding

I have the binding sewn on two of the three quilts I am working on.  (I still need to hand sew them to the backs.) Here is the orange Aboriginal I've been posting about.  My binding starts out in 3 1/2 inch strips.  After folding in half, they are slightly less than 1 3/4 inch strips.  I sew them on using a 1/2 inch seam allowance which results in a 1/2 wide binding.  I often use these measurements when making my binding as I like the binding to be more prevalent in framing the quilt.  This particular quilt is bound with a 'scrappy' binding using a few Aboriginal fabrics that were also used in the quilt blocks.
