    So the binding of the # 2 is sewn on but not stitched down.

    Here is how I make them with a 2 1/2 inch cut, ironed in half and then wound on a empty paper towel tube. When I sew them on the binding doesn't get tangled or pick up stray threads as it lays in an empty tub and just un-rolls. This is a pic of another one I did earlier.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]618755[/ATTACH]I write the name of the quilt on the tube and hold it down with scotch tape, I hate pins.

    The second was also my initial pick. The 4th is good too, Well, are 4 are, but I think to "go with the gut" is best. If your gut said 2, then 2 it is. The rest of us have very similar guts. LOL

    Beautiful quilt. The dark purple is my vote too. However, I like it working with the back also. Actually all of them are very nice and would work.

    Have you ever tried not ironing your binding in half? You get to skip a step and the binding wraps around the raw edge of the quilt so much nicer.

    I've been trying not pressing my binding for the last year since I joined this forum, it was one of my try something new attempts. I'm sort of meh on the results. I typically use a rather full poly batt and I consider the binding the last chance to add fabric to a quilt so use a slightly larger binding cut than many, 3".

    Anyway, I haven't found any issues with the crease that some people seem to have when pressing. I didn't have any issues turning my corners or other concerns I had about it being non-pressed although I feel that it is easier to distort/add in fullness with it unpressed. Ultimately, my tops may wait some time before they are finished and I like storing the bindings pressed better for no particular reason other than they look more done. As I mentioned before, I have pieces of cardboard about the size of a paper tablet that I wrap my binding on, it stores flat and well and I can count the wraps and times them by the cardboard size. Don't seem to have problem with the folds, I used to put it around an empty oatmeal carton but that shape takes up a lot of space.

    I use bias binding - I do not press a fold in, but I do baste (by machine) the raw edges together to prevent creeping of one layer. I wonder if spot glue basting would work - I have not tried it, so do not know the result/answer of doing that.

    I also baste the edges (by machine) of the quilt sandwich together before putting on the binding.

    That way, I only have "two" edges to keep lined up.

    I love the top and think you can't go wrong with any of the choices.
