Default Binding isn't Scary after all!!

The first few quilts I made i used the "fold over" method, bringing the backing to the front and stitching it down. Some of the binding tutorials I watched made it look so hard!

I finally broke down and spent a few days researching different techniques and put a few together to try it.

The result didn't turn out half bad! The corners even look somewhat mitered.

Great job! I love finishing up the binding by hand.

Nice job! I never have minded bindings. I can't get the hang of the fold over method though!

Glad you're finding it easier now. Bindings give your quilt the finished look..... good or bad. Yours looks good.

I remember struggling with the binding the first few times i did it - now i can't remember why i thought it was so hard. It's one of those things that once you get it, you really get it.
Yours look MUCH better than my first attempts for sure !!!
