I love your table runner. I would stitch in the ditch around everything, including outlining each small block. I always miter my bindings. Here is a link that explains binding inside corners.

No, it's not. Ask as many questions as you need answers for.

I would either quilt the pinwheels in the ditch or echo quilt them (1/4" inside each piece).

I can't help you on the binding, I've never done the inside corner thingy.

Look at the post (by Bearisgray) that just came on about binding inside corners. Scroll down and members have posted two different links to show how to do it.

I suggest you quilt on the diagonal or in the ditch for the pinwheels, it will make the roundness of the flowers pop.

I miter the corners on all my binding, it is not difficult. I do that as I go along the edge of the fabric.

This is a beautiful table runner. Congratulations!

I agree with everything she said.

Me too! I also don't think it's rude, nor is there any rule I know of that you can't ask 2 questions in one post!! :D
Good luck, it's really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the way Barb suggested I think it would really pop the flowers you did a beautiful job on this runner

OooOooo , I just love that pattern! Love the colors too. Great job! The mitered corners, I cannot help with. I have mitered corners but only the four in a table runner and on a small quilt... I cannot begin to imagine the inside turns.

I have a binding book. If you hang in there until Saturday night, I will look up the book and try to get an answer on the binding question. If somebody can answer before then, great but I have to work tomorrow.

That is so beautiful! I did a quilt with a scalloped border and had to mitre the inside corners. It's a bit time consuming but not hard at all. I cut my binding on the bias to go around the curve and inside point. Also, if you're a bit nervous about it just practice on a scrap piece of fabric. That's what I did and I believe it helped me more than anything. Again, I love the runner!!! PS. I could show you how to do it but for the life of me I can't explain it! lol...
