First -

 

 

I did what I WANTED to do - 

 

And sorted the strips for sets of strata - 

 

Bali Pops ™ - Butterscotch -

Hoffman Fabrics -

 

 

I need 10 sets of 4 - 

 

So I did it the lazy easy way - 

 

Peeled off the strips 4 at a time - ten times - 

 

And put them all - nice and neat - on the cookie sheet - 

Ready to be sewn together -

 

Then I did what BOB said that I SHOULD do - 

 

And cut the strips down to the widths that I needed for the binding - 

 

Sewed the GRAY ones end to end - 

 

And the ORANGE ones end to end - 

 

Then sewed the GRAY long strip to the ORANGE long strip - 

 

Pressed it all - 

 

And rolled it up - 

 

For a scrappy "flange" binding - 

 

The scrappy GRAYs will be the MAIN color - 

 

And the scrappy ORANGEs will be the tiny "flange" on the inside edge - 

 

It's my favorite binding method - 

 

That I talked about - HERE - 

 

And should look pretty good - 

 

So -

 

I WAS able to do BOTH today - 

 

And now that I made the binding -

 

And have a friend who is going to quilt the quilt for me -

 

I can play with making blocks -

 

When she sends the quilt back - 

 

And I have to sew on the binding - 

 

I'll be ready - LOL - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
