Grandmother's Flower Garden Binding problem/question???
Hi everyone! I need help and advice. A friend sent me this beautifully HAND-PIECED GFG top 3 years ago. I have finally finished hand quilting it and am now ready for the binding but....two sides are straight and I have no problem with that but two sides are hexi edges and I am at a loss at how to get binding on them. See attached picture. I am thinking I will need to do a bias binding for the two pointy edges. I have never done this before. Is it hard and do you think the fabric cut on bias will stretch enough to fit the peaks and valleys? Will I have to make tucks like I do when going around a corner on a regular quilt. I have put so much time into this not to mention the time friend put in on hand piecing this whole thing that I don't want to mess up at the end. I had thought of just making a straight edge all around but that seems to be the chicken way out. Open for any and all suggestions.
