I also have never thought about adding the binding before adding the border design, seems like a great way to keep from losing any of the stitching. Have you ever tried pin basting where you use a spoon to close the pins? Once you get the hang of it goes pretty quick and is easy on the fingers.eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428928203407443807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-53136129895183008492016-10-15T10:38:09.834-06:002016-10-15T10:38:09.834-06:00Love your featherborder!Love your featherborder!Vera Holmgrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871615001116515819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-39039377078336719312016-10-12T10:28:28.852-06:002016-10-12T10:28:28.852-06:00I like the feather option for that darker fabric. ...I like the feather option for that darker fabric. As for blocking, I would do it after binding, as I've noticed that binding can distort the quilt. Be a drag to have to block twice.

I was worried the quilt police would catch me, but it worked perfectly and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Like you, I didn't want the design to get caught in the binding, and that was the solution that worked for me. I hope you find a solution to your problem! :)Beth @ Cooking Up Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786023962755107152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-37718931478080090832016-10-11T18:35:17.712-06:002016-10-11T18:35:17.712-06:00You have a slender arch showing in the light blue....You have a slender arch showing in the light blue. Perhaps you could try that shape repeated sort of like - curve, curve, curve. It may nees to be smaller. Or the same curve but then have it repeat from the other side of the dark strip so where the curves intersect there's an x. The other thing that came to mind was doing the vine with leaves but a less dense version. I'll look forward to seeing what you decide.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427354321048474574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-23374613398745222792016-10-11T17:51:07.055-06:002016-10-11T17:51:07.055-06:00I like the feather border, too.

When I do block, I do it before binding for squarer corners.

I am sure you will come up with just the right thing. And you are right, testing things out is a great idea.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942853868409355316noreply@blogger.com
