If I bind it, I'm not sure how to do all the small angles. Do you do them the same as corners when doing ordinary binding? Suggestions please!
I could also finish it out as a square wall hanging and just sandiwich and quilt and bind but I really like the decagon shape and would like to keep that.
Thanks so much for any help!
I think I would use in the ditch quilting with varigated or invisible thread from the light colored through the inside circle, then I would quilt around the circle. For each point I would quilt in the ditch also and make sure each of the points were done. Then the back of the quilt would be just like the front. I would also quilt around the entire outside edge. I can't remember just where it is now , but there was a tute I saw showing how to do edges like this when binding. I love your quilt. If I come across the particular tute, I will let you know. Beautiful fab. and beautiful work.
