Karla....ya know...the more I think of it....I only did that on the end corners....for the 4 "short" corners I think I just stitched to within 1/4 inch and then with needle down, turned the whole thing twisting the binding to line up with the next edge..... I hope that kind of helps explain it.... after reading your post I went over it in my head and realized I did do those corners that way!

Harmony--I never owned one until there was one the perfect color for a scrap log cabin I was making. I just cut it into strips. I've never known what purpose they served compared to buying yardage. I recently bought more on sale at Joannes for barns/grass--and since this pattern called for fat quarters and the directions were going to go easier if I used them, I hunted around to find some that'd work.

I still don't know the advantage over yardage except cutting ease? FQ at one shop were $2.50 each! That'd be paying $10 a yard!! The owner said no one thinks of it like that. :lol: I'll buy them if they're $1 or under.

I really like the colors you chose. When I put the binding on a table runner, I found the corners at the 135*angles worked just like a 90*angle. I just did it like I was mitering a square corner.

I think I know what you mean, Patsy. I'll know more when I get there. :D I'll leave the needle down and take it from there. Thanks!

Oh jeepers bj--now I'll have to try one thing on each side. :!: :!:
