Happylab, that is gorgeous. Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite patterns. I feel the need to make another one.
tkhooper: assuming you use the folded binding, here is how I did the last one and it worked like a charm.
1. leave about 4" unsewn to start and about 6" unsewn at the end.
2. Smooth out both folded ends on the quilt and mark where they overlap.
3. Measure the distance of the binding width past the overlap and mark. (Mine was 3" so I marked a 3" overlap.)
4. Trim the overlapped piece at the marked overlap (the distance that the binding is wide).
5. Open up both folded pieces.
6. Align them and pin from point to edge-point. (It is important to make sure that the miter will allow the binding to lay flat. (I had the whole thing flipped - oops)
7. Sew the miter and verify that it is correct.
8. Trim the excess.
9. Fold down the binding and sew it down.
