It may have taken eight months, but the Irish Chain quilt is finally completed! This was a fun project and I am so glad the the FB group, Catholic in Stitches, suggested it. I have sewn nearly a dozen quilts before this one, but I certainly learned a lot on this one. I think it just may be my favorite!
When finishing quilts in the past, I had always overlapped the ends of the binding. It is not the best way as the join tends to be a bit bulky and obvious. Pinterest to the rescue! I found instructions here on how to properly join the binding. What a difference that makes! You cannot tell where the two ends meet.
I frequently have problems getting the corners on my quilts just right. I found a great tutorial, again via Pinterest, that was extremely helpful. Check it out here.

ReplyDeleteSorry to bust into a random thread. (Pun intended.) I don't know if you got my email, but we're having folks over for the CF tree lighting the day after Thanksgiving. Any time after 5:00. Love to see you. Please let me know either way.
