Dear friends,
I've been making a scrappy quilted pillow cover for a child.
I usually quilt only the front, and build the back with 2 pieces of fabric with a zipper, then I bind.
But this time I wanted to use more scraps so I decided to quilt both sides of the pillow cover (what I was thinking?), and now I don't know how to finish it.
I have 2 quilted panels: One for the front and one for the back.
If I put a zipper, I can't sew the binding... but if I want to bind, then I can't sew a zipper and the owner won't be able to wash the cover
Common sense tells me to choose the zipper and forget the binding but I really want to sew a contrasting binding around the pillow cover because I see it 'plain'...
Is there a way to do what I want?
