I will share with all of you that I hate binding, I prefer using yarn to finish the edges but I thought I ought to use binding on this one. If the binding police were to look at it though - oh my.

Well, it is just beautiful! I'll bet the binding is just fine too. I really like it.

Your quilt is beautiful. Tell me, how do you use yarn to finish the edges of a quilt. I'm really curious.

here is a pic of something small I sew the yarn on the back and front, it's easy and I like the look.

I love how the yarn looks attached to your item. Please share how you do that. It is quite lovely.

Absolutely beautiful. I love the varying shades of pinks. Why do you hate binding? I find it a little boring but not hard at all. Peggy

Your quilt is very beautiful! I love the quilting on it. Is the quilting freehand, by computer or a pantograph?

oma66 01-16-2012 08:13 AM

Beautiful star quilt. Love the colors.

luvstoquilt 01-16-2012 08:13 AM

I am not crazy about binding either. I think that is because I am so anxious to start on the next project! Oh well, love your quilt and the colors are simply beautiful.

I just do not like the binding but I do like it when it is done.

blueangel 01-16-2012 09:16 AM

All my quilting is free motion, pantographs in my opinion are like binding but worse. Like walking in someone else's footsteps.

Great job, love the fabric..

char634w 01-16-2012 02:08 PM

This quilt is absolutely beautiful and the quilting is stunning. Thanks for sharing with us. I must be crazy but I actually love to do bindings since I finally learned how to do them and I keep getting better with each one. Maybe I especially like it because it is the finishing touch on the quilt. When the binding is done I can rejoice that I am DONE with the quilt.

SouthPStitches 01-16-2012 02:12 PM

Your star quilt is just gorgeous. Fantastic colors. Been quilting for 30+ years and never heard of binding with yarn. Even though you included a small picture, I'm not sure what I'm seeing. Must be having another menopausal moment.
