The BAMQG Hawaiian quilts are still in process. Several have been delivered to the family and they were beyond thrilled. The rest are due by the end of August.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago Kelly and I met for lunch. She gave me one that needed to be bound. In the thick of my injury I couldn’t do it right away and it languished. Angela needed to send me the binding, so I didn’t worry. She did and it was time to get to work.<\/p>\n

Last weekend was the weekend of little projects: strip for the Food Quilt #2<\/a> back strip, journal cover<\/a>, Stepping Stones blocks, a lanyard, etc. I added the Hawaiian Quilt binding to the list.<\/p>\n

Emboldened by last effort<\/a> at machine binding, I did a machine binding again as well. Also, with my hand in a brace, hand stitching takes abut 15x as long. Angela and Kelly were fine with the machine binding so I was off.<\/p>\n

I did a much simpler machine binding this time. I just used a straight stitch on the back rather than a decorative stitch. The stitching shows on the binding, but isn’t obvious on the front, which is great.<\/p>\n

\"Trimming<\/a>
Trimming for binding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The quilt came to me untrimmed, so I put the binding on and then trimmed. I used my regular Aurifil #2600 piecing thread to sew the binding on the front. It did not blend, but would be covered once the binding was flipped so I didn’t worry.<\/p>\n

It occurs to me now that I could have trimmed, put the binding on the back and then flipped the binding to the front. I might try that next time just to see how it looks.<\/p>\n

These are very bright and cheerful quilts. I am really pleased to be able to help the guild work on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
