surprisingly satisfying

Binding happiness! My very first binding. I feel all grown up now.



I didn't think I would enjoy making binding, but I did! These are for the two quilts I have on the go at the moment. It was very soothing ironing long strips of fabric, and the thriftyness of using up all my scraps appealed to me as well.


This is for my boys orange quilt.

This for my turquoise, red and purple quilt. They make me think of multicoloured snail shells.
