Wonderful job on the scalloped border, great '30s themed quilt!

These tiny dresdens are perfect in the 30's repros. The scalloped edge is a wonderful finishing touch. I want to make one too! Minis are so addicting.
peace

Love your Dresden and the border. Is it hard to put the binding on?

greaterexp 09-07-2016 08:34 PM

How sweet! You did a beautiful job with the scallops! I'm rather fond of the feedback prints. It looks like I could have found it in my grandmother'slinen closet, which is a compliment!

Embarrassing story about the binding. I had several of the 30's scraps left over, so I had the not so bright idea to sew the scraps together lengthwise to make the binding. Sewed it onto the wrong side of the quilt, picked it all out, sewed it on the correct side of the quilt and just couldn't get the curves to look right. Then it hit me! I was using a binding cut on the strait of grain! Ripped it all out again, cut bias binding, and it was very easy to put on! I will be doing a scalloped border again.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments!
