Hi all, I'm hoping someone can provide some advice for me.

I'm making a new quilt for a little girl who's family just lost everything they owned in a fire. The little girls Aunt told me she lost her "silky", which was her blanket. I've made the quilt, now ready for the binding and I'm trying to put regular blanket binding on it.

I'm just a little confused as to what's the right way to do this. It's 4", pre-folded, so it seems like it would be easy to just sew it on instead of using the normal binding method for quilts. It does have a finished edge, so should I just sew it using a decorative stitch or should I try doing it the normal way, just sewing it to the blanket about 1.75" from the quilt edge?

Any help is appreciated.

Carrie
