Signed the newest quilt

This is my favorite way to bind,
first the material is just rolled up from the back.
Then I pull the corner up and snip it off.

I was trying to think of a 1/4" seam allowance.

I pinned it down

Had to roll the quilt up because I sewing from the center out.
It just seems to lay better.

I start in the middle.

I really like the plain back.

Here's my corner

Three!!!!

I like the way the front and back contrast.

I'm going to have to work on these corners.

This is the first picture of the saturn material I like.

I'm not making these real heavy, I'm using a light blanket as the center.

This is the video I'm using to try to learn how to bind a quilt.

I've always thought Sewing with Nancy's stiletto was so cool, but I've never seen one. I was shopping at Harbor Freight with my hubby and saw this little set of tools. It looks like a cross between a dentists tools and some torture devices. :) Sort of works with my other career.
So far I've just used the straight one but it has a great grip and is sturdy. The entire set was only 2.99$

Well it's done. This one had extra material all around it from the bottom so I just met the edge to edge and then turned it over once. I wiggled the corners into place and no they are not any where near perfect but I think my Grandson won't mind.
It ended up being 58" by 35" It will be a nice blanket to cuddle on the couch with.
I tried using a blanket stitch but after one short end I went to a regular straight stitch. :)

I got side tracked from my small quilts to the lovies and now I need to get these two bound. I've decided to make two more. I just have to find a backing material I like. The number and ABC one is for my Grandson. The other is back with a dark black material with gold Saturns on it. The picture bleached it out a bit.

Two down

Isaac approved the 2nd blanket, now I just need to toss it in the wash and I can package it up for the next baby.

Deborah and I decided only the ends should be wrapped on this one.
