I used to always make a narrow binding for all my quilts, doubling a 2-1/4" binding as many of you do. But when I attended an art quilt exhibition at Visions Art Quilt Gallery in San Diego recently, I noticed many art quilts finished with a pillowcase edge (without binding). That gave the quilts a free, unconfined feeling, which I thought enhanced their themes. My traditional quilts will still have bindings, but my art quilts will definitely sport a new look.
