I posted earlier about battings for this wallhanging. Thanks for all the replies. I just thought of another question. Do you put a binding on a wallhanging or do you just sew it right sides together and flip it inside out? I so dread joining my binding strips at the end.

Either way is fine. BTY it is very cute, and well done.

Adding a binding gives you the chance to add a last pop of color. I always put bindings on my wall hangings. Finishing the ends isn't really that hard once you learn how.

Thank you

Any suggestions as to color on the binding? Not sure what really matches with gold.

I bind pretty much everything I do and there is an easy way to sew the ends together!! I do it on the diagonal and it works well every time!!!

I do mine both ways, depends on the size and the design. You have said that you didn't plan to quilt that piece and want to put a soft batting, if any, in it. Under those conditions, not putting a binding on will just increase the chances that it will sag and droop. You've never said what the size is; that makes a difference as well because of the weight pulling it down.

The size is 11 3/4 x 44 1/2. The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards binding it. Why would I go to all this work and not finish it up nicely? Again, not sure what color to use on the binding.

I always use batting and bind. I just think it looks better,and the weight helps things hang flat. Color? Maybe a darker color from your design? My PC may not be showing a true color but it looks like a golden with a brown, or dark tan design. Id try to match the darker color in the design. Good luck, I really like your wall hanging!

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It all depends upon the way I want it to look. Your quilt (which is beautiful, by the way), your choice.
