I set off this week with the goal to get 5 quilts bound. A lofty goal, but I machine bind, so completely doable. It’s only Wednesday and all 5 of the quilts are bound! I typically do a flange binding, but chose to bind the President’s Challenge (top left) quilt with the same fabric as the backing and the 2011 Mystery Quilt (bottom right) I had cut my binding when I finished the top 14 years ago and decided to not put the flange on. I still stitched the binding to the back and brought it to the front, but it was hard to see.
I designed this quilt as a retreat mystery quilt back in 2011. My smaller one I finished in time to hang in the 2019 Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival. It was done in just 3 fabrics and can be seen HERE.
