This is a picture of my machine binding.... I love binding by machine. Love it.
Its taken me a long time to learn to do this well, and I love that it's all machine, all the time.
No handwork for me... hoorah!
I can't believe its Wednesday already...

I quilted my "job" and then my time was my own to work in the studio before I got more outside work. I have one more job in my que but it isn't in the house yet. Speaking of which, did you know I take quilt jobs? Would you like me to quilt your quilt? Most jobs under 75$!
Shameless Pitch over.
I needed to work on my Project Improv Quilt - remember how I said I was doing a "Big Idea" quilt... Boring and abandoned... auggh! Now I am open to any idea...

I put on "Mr. Smith Goes to Wahington" and started goofing around.

and hmmm... how do I feel about that? Anything raw edge needs to be pinked- that's what I think.

so then I tried this with a fat quarter... the white bits are place holders for fabric.

Here it is finished.. It's 30's fabrics and it's really a Fabric Doodle.
Took me a good part of the day - but still a doodle...

here is a little detail...
Here's where I am going with it...

Using little barkcloth squares and a solid. This is a block - its gonna get trimmed to 10".
I have no idea if this is where I am going or what is gonna happen with it...
Super cool! I need to start experimenting with the wavy.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling so inspired! I love the idea of a fabric-doodle. I may need to try that!
ReplyDeleteMost impressed by that machine binding! Can you let us in on how you do it??
ReplyDeleteAre you going to have a machine binding class? So very interested..
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear any binding pointers you might have to offer. Mine NEVER look that good.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder what your tips are for machine binding. It always looks awful for me. I've given up and gone back to hand stitching for my doll quilts.
