I am soooo bummed...I wash my quilt and there was an area on the green border that was no sewn right....I did not notice it. When I washed it it teared...I have to take it apart, I may change the backing to fleece and so not looking forward to binding it again....

I first stitched on the back side and bought it to the front side and sewed. next time I will not use 2 1/2 for my binding if I do this I will cut back to 2 1/4.

I will also post my finished project here. I can't wait to see how this will look once done. This will be my third quilt. If you have finished a disappearing nine block quilt please post pictures. I would love to see the different ways they are put together. Well off to get my sewing machine ready to sew.
