Next week I'm doing a 2 part course at my LQS in Manhattan with the wonder teacher and quilter Christine Janove.
FINISHED EDGES
Concentrate on the fundamentals of how to make & attach straight grain & bias binding.
Practice is done on small quilts or place mats that you bring to class.
However, the edges of your quilt can be finished in more ways than just these two.
There will be discussion & demos of facing, mock binding & more.
Learn which to use for the best results.

So the class supply list arrived and I need to take along 4 quilted pieces approx 14" x 18" that can become place mats or muslin samples. I didn't need telling twice, I spent all day Saturday busy at the cutting mat and machine and here's the results.

I raided my scraps bag and used all the same fabrics that I used for my Juicebox Sofa Quilt which lives in my lounge.
I figured that if the quilt looks good in here then the place mats should look the same way.

I used the same fabrics in each place mat but in different colour/print order each time.
All 4 place mats are backed with Dear Stella - Doodle Paisley - Grey.

So they're all ready now for my class and I'll be binding them in a very dark midnight blue solid.
I'll share more photos with you when they're finished.
