short n sweet

I'm at that stage where my piece of handmade fabric turns into a quilt.
Four fabrics were auditioned for the part as binding
I almost went with a pink
but in the back of my mind I was always thinking 
herringbone..herringbone..herringbone.
Joel Dewberry herringbone fabric is my all time favourite fabric
it is the perfect binder
when you join it together the seams become invisible...joy!

    LOVE!!! Yes Herringbone is my favourite too, especially the navy! I LOVE it for binding, I used it on my son's quilt and it makes me smile every day!

    It's a great choice! I love the hand-binding process, just a great way to unwind at the end of a quilt and let the slow finish complete it....
