I am in love with this. I want to create a quilt with old baby clothes, too. I’m strained for time so i’m not checking myself, but do you have any posts for new quilters? I don’t have a sewing machine, so i’ll be doing everything by hand. Also, I have no idea what the terminology means…Double bias? I have no idea….Help! :)

Mary Jo – You’re welcome. I’m so glad you shared your fun quilt. It looks great. The mini ones are so easy.

For this larger one, I just used my backing for the border, cutting the backing 2 inches longer than the top. Then once I tied the quilt together with the batting in the middle, I pulled the backing over to the front and folded it twice over, like a hem. Does this make sense? It’s one piece, not a separate binding piece like most quilts would have. Then you can hand stitch the binding, but I just pin it all around and sew it with my machine, again easy. The corners just get folded into a point and pinned, then sewn.

Some quilts I like to take my time and some I just want the easy way out. Happy Quilting!

Hi!
I love your quilts! I did a mini version based on your examples and just posted pictures on my blog today (with a link to your site). I’d like to try a bigger one like the ones on this page. How did you do the border? I used bias tape on the small one, but I noticed you used the backing from the quilts as the border here. Did you just fold over the edges? How did you do the stitching and the corners?
Any advice would be great. Thank you for the great work on your blog!
Mary Jo
