My Binding Jar
#1
Every time I finish a quilt top I go ahead and make the binding. That way, when I FINALLY get the top quilted I have the binding ready to go. I keep all my binding in a jar so that I know where it is when the time comes.
Here is a picture of my binding jar--and yes, I do have that many tops finished that need to be quilted!! :shock:

LOL... that is a great idea. I imagine it cuts down on procrastination to get something bound... or not. :lol: And you know that you have the material for the binding and don't use it in another project.

I usually make up my binding ahead of time as well Nothing more satisfying than finishing quilting a quilt and then slap on the binding for a later handstitch finish. I don't have a cute jar to put them and I am not really good at marking which quilt they are for. Currently I have 6 ready bindings waiting............I have more UFO's than that but that's another subject!!!

I wrap my binding (and bias strips) around a toilet paper tube, a paper towel tube, or the tube that comes from wrapping paper. It works wonderfully and the binding and bias strips don't get creased. I hadn't thought of using the glass jar. My glass jars are all filled with threads I'm using for various applique projects. I just love those glass jars!
