A few weeks ago I got my bedspread, shams, and deco pillows back from the quilter. I got the deco pillows finished with their envelope backs two weeks ago .
Then this past week finally managed to get both shams completed with their envelope backs as well.I will admit I have been trying to avoid binding the quilt. So I decided with left over fabric to make some table runners for a small table in our bedroom's sitting room, and both night stands and the dresser top. This is the one that is on the little table in our sitting room. The others are similar just different sizes to match the night stands and dresser tops. Well last week I finally had no choice but to work on binding the bedspread. Binding a 100" by 120" quilt looked like a nightmare. I moved my machine to the dining room table on Saturday morning and went for it. I added to the difficulty by rounding the two bottom corners. I was not going to use bias binding for the entire thing, so only cut two, 24 inches of bias binding and placed that around those two corners and then cut standard binding for the rest of it. I just joined the bias binding sections to the straight cut binding as I sewed around on each side. In the end it worked perfectly and was not as awful of a chore as I thought it would be. Now to finish the binding by hand, a chore I do not mind doing at all. I don't think I will ever do something like this again, but it really is beautiful and the colors perfect for our bedroom.
