Using facing instead of binding to finish a quilt
We just attended a quilt show in Anchorage that was spectacular! One of the things that intrigued me was that one of the quilters used facing on her quilt instead of binding. This facing was sewn to the front of the quilt then turned to the back and sewn, with none of the facing visible on the front of the quilt. This look was very effective for her pieces as it did not take away from the design at all. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good tutorial for this. I've looked on this board in the Articles and can't find anything. Am I describing this well enough?

Here is one tutorial - http://quilting.wonderhowto.com/how-...-edges-232952/
Facing is often done when the edges of a quilt are irregular.

This is the tutorial I used when I made a quilt that called for "facing". I found her step by step directions really easy to understand.
