    My Grandmothers flower Garden quilt top is almost finished. Now I'm worried about how to finish the edge of the border after it's quilted. I would prefer it scalloped, but do I put a binding on it; which would have a lot of turns, or turn the edges under and blind stitch it?

    I know Machel did a Grandmother's Flower Garden. Came out really pretty too! Maybe PM her and ask her how she bound it. I don't remember. I remember her quilting it, but not finishing it off.
