Hi Quilty Friends! Today's plan: Machine bind 3 quilts.
All three quilts will be bound with the same black striped fabric so I pieced all the binding needed for the three quilts in one long strip.
I've tried every trick or tool out there to help keep the binding off the floor. But it just seems to go quicker and smoother with the original way of just tossing it on floor between my legs. Most quilters will press the binding in half on the long edge. Not me, I fold as I go. For me it's quicker and I really don't see any benefit to pressing it half.
After the quilts are bound I think I'll use these scraps to make pillows. I could just sew them together as is or make a simple charm pillow. Any suggestions for Halloween pillow patterns?
Until next time...
I hope you find time to stitch up something sweet!

I am a binding on the floor kind of gal, too. I never thought to fold it as I sew, though, and am going to have to try that.
