I cut 1" strips of the light purple, sewed them end to end on the diagonal, then folded & ironed them in 1/2. Next I machine basted the folded strip with it's raw edge along the quilt edge (a bit less than 1/4" from edge). I then put the binding on as usual, machine sewing from the front, and hand sewing to the back. It wasn't hard at all, just took a little extra time, but the day I did it, I was in the mood to try somthing different for this quilt. At first I wasn't even going to have a border, just was planning on binding it...
