    Hi! I did the binding the same way as for quilts. I don't like bringing the back fabric to the front after watching some videos about doing them the "proper way." Everyone has their methods that work for them. I remember when I first started I struggled with binding but after watching some videos I saw how to do those corners better and easily. Wish I could help you more!

    Did you make and quilt each individually or make one large quilted piece and then cut into the size you needed?

    Here's a good link that shows various methods including the one I use without a tool. https://www.connectingthreads.com/tu...ine__D101.html
