Okay... I have my top done and am ready to put the layers together. The woman at the my LQS told me about tying the quilt for a different look (she knows I'm a newbie so this must be easier :wink: ) but then she said I did not have to bind it if I made it like a pillowcase. But I am afraid to do this... Wouldn't the seams on the inside really bulky? Does it look nice? I am afraid to try it and ruin my top... please give me some words of wisdom! TIA.
Also, I want to thank Feathers for sharing her tutorial for her "Purple Yellow Bunny Baby Quilt". This is the pattern I used and her instructions were so easy to follow and the pattern looks great! I will post a pic when done to her original thread. |
Done this way is easy and it looks good. My Avatar is a baby quilt done that way and tied.

Thanks SO much! Your quilts are beautiful!
Did you machine quilt some parts, I can't see where they are tied but that could be my eyes due to the time,long day. I willbe very excited if I can do this method because binding is not something I think I could do or enjoy... I could not hand stitch that much without arther coming around...lol. |
I did that on DGD last quilt. It had prairie points on the edges. Still didn't seem bulky around the edges. I still find it easier to spray baste and quilt and put binding on it, but to each their own.

This is a fun and easy way to do it until you get ready to do the real binding. BillsBonBon |
