Thanks for the link ekuw. I have also bookmarked it because it would work for runners that you don't want to 'birth'.

WOW, never heard of this before. Might try it on a quilt I am trying to finish. Thanks for the info Dunster.

I prefer a regular binding, more the look I like.

Thanks Dunster and Ekuw for the links. They both will help! I'm working on a quilt now that I'm not going to border, and that a binding might disrupt the design. I hadn't thought of facing until I saw that quilt! Thanks very much for enabling me to go another direction!

I face wall hangings. I really like the effect of having my piecing and quilting go all the way to the edge. I've never tried it on a quilt.

WOW. I saved that website to my "Favorites" that I call "How To's". Thanks

This was so new and interesting to me. Thank you Dunster for the link. I'm such a slow learner (very visual) that I will need to watch that one a couple of times to get it, but think it would look great on this Jungle reeds baby quilt I am working on. I am always ready to try something new, and you are always ready to let us know where to find it.

Thanks for the great tutorial Dunster. That will really help to learn the type of binding talked about in this thread.

I wonder what the judges at quilt shows and state fairs think of that technique?
