Purists look away

I decided to trim the quilt and put on the binding. 

I’ve saved the off cuts of the wadding. I sew them together and use them in other quilts 

I looked into the box of scrap strips and sewed enough to go around the whole quilt 

This is me doing the math to work out how long it had to be. 

First I add it up myself and then check it with the calculator 

This isn’t a traditional quilt. So I figured I don’t have to finish it in a traditional way. 

Normally I’d hand stitch this part. But seriously that would mean hours bend over sewing. 

Not good on my back, neck and shoulders 

So I just turned it over and stitched it with the machine. So much quicker 

And here it is. All done 

It’s going to go into the pile of blankets for the kids caravan 

To keep my most precious loves  snuggly and warm. 



Like a big hug from grandma
