Before we get to the binding, here are my 2 Moda Block 25s. It was a nice and easy block!
I finished quilting my Dear Jane quilt on August 17, 2017 and then went to the instructions given by Linda Franz on her web site. I read over her instructions carefully and then I tried to follow them. I have done a scalloped border before, but these scallops are much smaller and much more work. Sewing the binding onto the quilt wasn't much fun, but I got it done on Saturday. Linda recommended cutting the bias binding at 1 1/2". I did that, but after sewing some of it on, I decided to cut the rest of the binding at 1 3/4" and that worked much better.
I started hand sewing the binding to the back Saturday night while watching TV. As of right now, I am a little over half way on finishing the binding! I can't believe I am almost finished!
Here's what the scallops look like from the front. They really finish it off nicely!
My next post should show the finished quilt!
What a fabulous milestone! I can't wait to see your finished quilt in all its splendor! I've not tried scalloped binding before and those scallops sure do look small.
