Grandmother's Flower Garden Binding problem/question???
#11
Beautiful job with the binding! I almost have the top done of mine and plan on hand quilting this winter. Just a quick question, were the papers still in on the outside hexagons? I haven't removed them on mine because I wasn't sure if it would mess something up while quilting the center. And how hard was the bias binding to do? I don't really want to face mine either and am planning on doing a bias binding.

You want to remove all the papers before you sandwich it. Once it is all sandwiched and pinned (or basted- I prefer pins) you can't hurt anything on the edge because there should be a little batting and backing hanging wider than the top. At least mine are always that way. Let me know if I can give you any more pointers. And please post some pics of yours so we can see it. :-)
