Binding Tool Quilt from Jennie at MSQC
 

I have finally finished this quilt. It is 64 x 96. Fabrics are similar to the ones Jennie used. So happy to have this quilt completed. Made it for my youngest son who is 56 years old. 100% cotton front with a Berber backing. Used Sullivan's adhesive to put the top and back together. I quilted it with straight-line quilting with my walking foot on my domestic Brother's sewing machine.

I made so many mistakes with this quilt. My binding tool was 1/8" shorter than called for. Cut out all the tool pieces and then the triangles did not fit. Enlarged the triangles and then the patterns did not meet. A mistake that glowed like a bright light. Put the top together and had two sets of 4 blocks in wrong. Took the whole quilt apart and started over. After I put the quilt together the second time, I made over 6 yards of matching bias tape to sew on all the places where the pieces didn't fit.

I won't use Berber again (even though I love it) as it is very, very heavy. I'm really happy with the quilt and also happy that it is finished.

Wow, great finish! and I admire your tenacity! For sure, I would have given up on it!

Your quilt is beautiful. Every time you look at the quilt you can say “I conquered this one”.

Wow, very pretty.

beautifully done

That's really striking. You must be so happy you persevered. Your son is going to love it.

That's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have it and hope to get to that pattern soon. Yours is fantastic!

I'm confused though. How did your ruler end up smaller?

My first thought when I opened up this page was...I’m gonna make this one! It’s just stunning! Then I read how difficult it was to make and now I’m bummed! Your quilt is so beautiful and everything radiates beautifully!!!
Please share the pattern name. Is it considered difficult?

Your son is going to love his quilt!

A true quilter. I think your solution of the bias binding was genius. It looks like it should be a part of the quilt from the start. Love the colorway you chose for a man. So many people only do brown or black.
