Two coloured binding and a little more quilting

Yesterday I was binding my flannel quilt,

but found I didn't have enough of any fabric to bind it.

I used Cheri's tutorial on making a stitched in corner binding,

although I modified it slightly, and sewed all the strips on

before mitering the corners.

You can see the results above.

Another note: I noticed that I consulted this tutorial four years after Cheri posted it.

I probably bookmarked it back then, and now I'm finally using the technique.

Other than a little careful measuring, it's quite straightforward.

Pop over to see Cheri and say hello.

I also quilted arcs or canoes, or maybe even kayaks (?)

into the centre of the flannel squares

and left the ties in.

I think the minimal quilting doesn't take away

from the coziness of the quilt,

and now I'm confident it will hold together

after washing.
