The Ties that Bind

I'm cutting bias strips to make bias tape bindings on five quilts.

I totally hate bias strips. I hate cutting them, stitching them into ridiculous yards and yards and yards of bias tape. I hate pressing them, sewing them and finishing them by hand. And yet.

I only use bias bindings on my quilts. Why? Masochism? Devotion to a tradition I gleefully split from when I piece and quilt by machine? I really have no idea why I do it.

I just do. Two of the five are spoken for. The other three will be going up for sale, soon.

Because bias strip borders just behave so much better. That, and the fact you are a glutton for punishment. :)

I abso LOVE your quilts. ABSO. You are so talented. And I love that you call it Tante Leah. It makes me smile, and want to speak more French.
