I really like your rooster quilt. I like the idea of incorporating panels and portions of panels into projects. They might be short cuts (I don't regard them as cheaters), they just have a different feel and look in a project. I know your gift will be loved.

The red sashing makes it perfect! The flange binding by machine is my new favorite to do option to get something finished quickly.

I also played around with the width of the seam where I sewed it to the back. Once I got that the way I wanted, I never looked back! LOL I love your table runner. I'm a fan of Roosters and love the color red. I'm sure your sis will love it.

I just checked out the link and my flange binding has different measurements. My main binding is cut at 1 1/2" and flange 1 3/4". Jenny Doan from MSQC has a good tutorial on flange binding on you tube.

Thanks for sharing your info! I love this technique and will definitely be using it in the future!
