    Quilting rules? Maybe in judging at quilt shows. But other than that, just do what pleases you.

    My new rule is if you make a boo-boo, but you are consistent with it on whatever you are making, it is not a boo-boo, but your interpetation of the design! The guilt free rule for quilters and knitters-just as long as it is pleasing to you.

    On many of my art quilts, there's no binding showing on the front. However it looks the best to you - keep it that way.

    Absolutely not. Quilting is an art and if you are happy with your design then no rules were broken.

    I cut mine at 2" or 2 1/8" anyway. I like a thin, fine binding.
