Well, it was easier than mitering. I was putting off the binding because I didn't know how I was going to deal with the bulk of the velvet doubled and interfaced. Finally decided it wouldn't look too bad with rounded corners. I machine stitched it onto the velvet side and than hand-stitched it to the silk side. Silk velvet is actually easier to work with than velveteen or rayon velvet. This was a labor of love, and may even do another one with all the silk I have left, maybe a crazy patch.
