That faux piped binding you described sounds like it might be similar to the flange binding that I've seen mentioned on the board. I need to see a tutorial to really understand how it works, but I have to say if it allows you to complete the entire binding by machine rather than having to do all that hand sewing I'm all for it. LOL

This is a good tute: http://www.fonsandporter.com/article...ng-faux-piping

When you sew your strips end to end, just make sure that when you sew them together lengthwise that two seams don't meet at the same place.
The binding is cut 1-1/2" and the piping is 1-3/4. That way, when you press in half, 1/4" of the piping will show.
This is a non-video tute for those of us who need to read the instructions (like me). http://www.lvqg.org/media/2a7a5a699c...02ffffe415.pdf

Thank you ever so much. That makes sense. Will check out the other link you provided. I will be trying this on the next new quilt. I have lots of UFO tops to finish but I have the bindings ready for all finished tops....always make the bindings once top is done.

Thanks for posting both tunes Belfrybat. I think I'll have to try that one next time I want an extra pop at the binding---Doesn't look as difficult as I'd imagined, except for trying to stay in the ditch LOL

Yeah -- I have problems with staying in the ditch. I just bought a new foot that is actually a joining foot but was told it worked great for staying in the ditch. We'll see....

ETA: sorry about the size of the pic -- it should have been much smaller!

Anybody have any June UFO finishes that can be added to the tally? I'll post the count on Wednesday.

Happy Independence Day!

I have three finishes for July. They are all small projects that I have had the supplies for awhile, but just around to doing them. Since I didn't start them until July, except for the snowman coasters, I will count them all as finishes and not UFO's. I have UFO's to finish, but my machine I use for quilting is still at the shop. Maybe in August. [ATTACH=CONFIG]575782[/ATTACH]

DebJ...your memory quilts are wonderful! Very creative. The quilting is great too. You put a lot of time and energy into creating the designs. My favorite block is the one with the photo of the woman holding the toddler. I like the depth perception. Also like the 'flower' photo and the overall modern look of each quilt. Beautiful work. I would like to know a little about how you designed them.
I agree with the fanfare!! Great memory quilts. I also second the call for hearing more about your thought process in the designs and layouts. You now have fans!!!

I just finished another UFO - a Christmas table runner. I've been having problems with my machine lately so not getting the quilting done that I had hoped to accomplish. I'm sending two more UFO's out to be quilted this week so will post pictures when I get them back.
