All right! So I'm awarding myself another Round Tuit today, for my work last night and today. I got out the binding fabric for Kiwi Twist, my king-sized quilt. I haven't done anything since Quilt Diva Yuki quilted it. (Yikes!)
See why I had Yuki quilt it? She did this freehand! What a woman!
What's been done:
- Got out the binding (it was already cut.)
- Drew the diagonal line on the end
- Sewed them all together with a diagonal seam (it's stronger!)
- Iron it and rolled it up on a TP tube
- Unrolled it and creased it with the iron
- Rolled it back up again
- Cut the excess backing and batting off the quilt
- Looked up the instructions in a Quilt-in-a-Day book
- Sewed the binding to the back, around the quilt with 1/4" seam, leaving 8" free
- Sewed the ends together, correctly (I think there should be a way to do it diagonally but I probably won't figure it out)
- Finished sewing the binding down. (Phew!)
- Got out needle and thread (It counts as a step!)
- Started sewing the binding to the front by hand. I've probably done about 90" out of 400", but it's moving along
Still to Do
- Finish hand-sewing the binding
- Make the label
- Sew it on

Congrats and Yippee! The quilting is great, she did a wonderful job. I looked at a previous pic of your quilt and it's wonderful.
