Binding -

Both the Victoria and Albert Interweave (on the left) -

And the Dear William Interweave (on the right) -

Are quilted now -

And since they both have the same backing -

I figured they could both have the same binding - ;))

I already know that I want to use the backing fabric -

For the "main color" -

Since I have plenty of it -

And it would "match" -

But I want binding with a "flange" -

And I only want to make one BIG batch of binding -

So the "flange" has to work with both, too - ;))

The "flange" only took two auditions - so I was lucky -

The first was a YELLOW - that I forgot to photograph -

And it would "go" with both -

But I would need to sew it with YELLOW thread -

And - although that wouldn't matter on the Victoria and Albert one -

Since I quilted it with YELLOW thread -

The Dear William is quilted with GREEN thread to match the backing -

And I don't want YELLOW thread showing on the back of that one -

So - long story short - or not so short - LOL -

I chose a lighter GREEN for the "flange" -

Two shades of GREEN - should work with the darker GREEN thread -

And if not - too bad -

Nobody's going to look at it that closely anyway -

And I don't care if the thread color shows on the front -

The flange will be tiny -

And the GREEN thread will blend in nicely with the backing on BOTH -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
