Well I FMQ the border on my latest quilt yesterday. I cussed and fussed, but I finally got around the way around the darn thing. It doesn't look to bad as long you don't look too closely. Now I am fighting with the binding. Somewhere I READ TO CUT A STRIP 2 1/4" wide, fold it, and then sew it to the front and flip to the back. When I tried that there wasn't enough to turn over. I opened it back up. Now I am stitch it on open, then fold it over, pin and hand stitch to the back. Why do the corners have to be mitered. I used to do it all the time without and it worked fine. Whoever came up with that idiotic idea? It will get done by Monday, hook or crook.
