Snowball quilt finished
 

Here is a throw back to a year ago when I posted getting the snowball quilted. It took me a year almost to the day to get the binding done. She sat on the pile waiting patiently for me to come back to her.

There was a thread posted a few days ago about doing binding and there were several great tips and videos shared. I have been doing the Peter Lose technique for a long time and decided that the snowball quilt was going to get a different treatment for a trial run after watching the Sharon Schamber video.

Got my Elmers Washable School Glue out and went to town, step by step. It is a longer process but after doing it, I think it will be my go to technique from now on.

The one thing I noticed was that the more quilting or stitching near the edge of the quilt makes the fabric more stable and less likely to pleat or bunch up. My quilt had a more open quilting style even with a basting stitch around the perimeter so I was very careful and worked un rushed.

After the binding and washing. My corners were better than ever. There was no struggling to make the corners work and no rippled binding.

I am happy.:D

your quilt turned out beautifully. Your work paid off. Your corners are superb! Something to be proud of.

You do great work. Doesn't it feel good to get it out of the way. I finished two recently, and one of them had been waiting nearly five years. Whew.

Stunning quilt, well worth the wait.

The quilt and decor fit perfectly. Great job!

turned out great

I'm glad to see this finished. Good work.

very nice!!!

The quilt is charming--the colors you chose and the visual texture of the fabrics. I also have to say that the dancing rabbit wall hanging and the dolls on the bed are wonderful accompaniments; hope they stay together.

I, too, love the quilt. I have used that method of binding a lot lately and have more to go. I have 3 plus a queen all quilted just waiting to be hemmed. I really like your dancing rabbit wall hanging. Can you tell me if that was a pattern or did you design it? The edge looks like the wool pennies. Can you send a full picture of it and explain the process. Thank you so much.
