    I typically do not sew the miter binding corner, and never had an issue with it.

    Your quilt is very pretty and I hope the wedding couple enjoys it. Recently I was in a binding class and the instructor said unless you were going to enter competition, there isn't any need to sew the corners down. From your pictures your quilt looks sturdy.

    What stitch did you use on your machine for your binding? I have never had any luck so I sew my on by machine then turn it and hand stitch.

    I've never had a problem with them coming loose. I've never gone back and sewed them.

    I think the only time you need to stitch your miters is if you are showing a quilt in a judged show. Mine will never go there

    I use 4 white blocks at 12 o'clock, 3, 6 and 9.

    GREAT POINT! (No pun intended!!)

    I do longer than a 2, but less than 3. Probably like 2.25...

    A friend entered a quilt in the Mid Atlantic quilt Show in Hampton Va. last week. ( it was a beautiful traditional civil war quilt) She was shot down for not stitching the little corner binding seams down, I didn't even know this was an option.
