![]() I sewed it to the front side of my quilt after quilting and then I machine stitched it down. I only do bias binding on a quilt with curved edges. ![]() It is a straight edge binding, not a bias. Binding the quiltįor my binding, I cut some of the strips into smaller pieces and also added some leftover pieces for a completely scrappy binding. I bought 2 jelly rolls so I could use the fabrics for a border…I just sewed strips together and added them around the sides. I don’t recommend using the 2 1/2 inch strips pieces for a border….it stretched because of the bias edges on the blocks. ![]() There was some stretching when I quilted it and the borders didn’t lay perfectly flat but after washing and drying it looks pretty good. The back is muslin and I used Warm & Natural for the batting. I actually used only 21 of the strips from the 2nd jelly roll for the blocks since I have 20 blocks. One jelly roll – using 39 strips will give you 13 large blocks and you will have 13 small blocks leftover that could be used for another project or you could mix and match them. This design takes 80 small strip blocks – 4 to each large block design equals 20 blocks for this quilt. The quilt size is approximately 72 x 88 before adding the borders.
