Here's something I forgot to post about. A table topper for the piece that corrals all the toys in the living room.
One side looks like this. Linen with some applique. I made a mistake and forgot to stitch down the fused-on applique. Luckily this thing shouldn't have to get washed very often, rarely enough to where I would be willing to do it by hand. I quilted it all over with a meandering stipple.
A double-sided table runner needs double sided binding, am I right? This technique wasn't so hard, but I don't care for the way the seam on the inside made the corners all lumpy. It was fun and new to try, but I doubt I'll volunteer to do it again. I just like crispy sharp corners too much.
Linking up to Finish It Up Friday on Crazy Mom Quilts.
Very nice. I like how you left the little toy animals in the picture. Shows what life is really like in your house!! Here's another idea for a different fun twist on a binding: http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/2010/12/binding-flange-tutorial.html
