OMG!!! That is BREATHTAKING. I would love to be able to do that kind of handwork. It's just beautiful.

Awesome work. Congratulations on your awards.

Sue, you are right - the quilt does not have a binding. I always close my quilts in the traditional way quilters from Wales and Northern England did it: with the knife edge. When the quilting is finished I cut all three layers back to the same length (1 inch apart from the outermost quilting line). Next I shorten the batting 1/2 inch. The "seam allowance" of the backing is now folded around the edge of the batting, the top fabric is also folded to the inside. Than I sew a line of simple running stitches to close the edges. Very simple - but effective. It fits perfectly to that kind of quilts and it's the traditional "British" way of closing them.

I'm just in awe every time I see your work and to think you do this one stitch at a time , I'm just so amazed at your talent!!!

you should be very proud, it is beautiful
