I agree wholeheartedly! Surely that would be easier.

Thanks! I've watched those and they are very helpful! Its going around the "steep" little blades and into their inside corner that's going to be the problem!!

I would probably do this with a 'facing', sewn to the front then fold to the back, though it wouldn't be proper binding.

Would love to learn how to do that!! I'm open to suggestions on that! Asking for explanations as others have mentioned using facing! The back is plain muslin so no problem matching anything!!

Thanks for asking! Here is my sample block of it for now. I'll try to find more. Its from the book "Fancy to Frugal" by Kay Connors and Karen Earlywine. There are some lovely patterns all based on 30"s quilts!

Will it be easier to open the binding and sew one side on first, then fold it and do the rest? Anyone know of a titorial for "facing"?

Ok. Seen that idea for "straight" edges and looks good! Now to figure out for the curved bits! Any ideas of tutorials for this?
