No, I just did a conventional binding by sewing the binding strips to the front and flipping the back.

Just downright gorgeous! I have been sitting, feasting my eyes on that stained glass piece for 5 minutes.
Your choices on the batiks give it the same glow of light as a real glass one would.
Talk about "eye candy", that piece is TRUE eye candy!!

Ohhhhh I meant the fusible bias tape that forms the leading.

Wow, that would have been a lot easier! *smacking myself in the head* I sewed on one edge, then went back the other way on the other edge.

I love the inner marbled border. It's a perfect contrast to the structure of the outlined irises. ...wondered what you were working on. I always look forward to your posts. Thanks for sharing. Question - Do you ever have anything that doesn't come out perfectly???!

Sigh... You are such a natural at this quilting stuff, eddie. There doesn't seem to be anything you aren't great at.
I love irises, I have many colors in my garden. This wallhanging is breathtaking.
