Well, I thought I would give this a try but it did not turn out too well. It worked a little but I think I would have had better luck if I had cut my binding on a bias instead of on straight of grain. Then it would have had more stretch.
Here is the link to the tutorial, which was very good and I loved how it came out.

Just wanted to give my suggestion to try a bias binding if you want to try this. I made my scallops approx. 4.5-4.75 apart and still the middle did not want to give enough so my scallops are not so deep. Also had to add a pic of my helper???? He approved if I would just pet him once in a while.

nice quilt- i'm a little confused about the cathedral window reference- since it's a pin-wheel quilt- can't really see the binding on it unless that wide outer border is actually binding? anyway- i like the quilt-nice job.

sorry- didn't see the other 2 pics before responding- and i went & looked at the tutorial - so now i 'get it' - i think part of the reason it didn't really work so well is because the striped fabric is so predominate-
it's still a nice quilt though.

the tut shows how to put the binding on and then pull/roll the edge of it over, making scallops. this is similar to the method for making cathedral windows blocks.

Oh, that is wonderful...I love it! The binding just make it more unique, which is always my favorite!

You have a stunning helper, one that seems to love the feel of the material from all sides! Definately a keeper there!
