Binding issue with someone else quilt
I was given a quilt to add binding to.
I have the fabric to do the binding with. However, I'm not THAT experienced in finishing someone else project.
As you can see in the picture, the green border was added to the original quilt top and the yellow backing.
The quilter quilted out to about 2" from one edge and 1" from the other edge.
What would be the best way to add binding:
1. Trim evenly all around, then add the binding to the raw edges?
2. Draw a line 6" out from the yellow border, then add the binding to that. THEN trim it off?
3. I'm open to other ideas.
Thanks,
Tracy
(I posted this in the Pictures forum when asking about what color binding to get, but now it's a "what do I do" question.
