Binding: The Quilter’s Final Touch
When I first started quilting, I didn’t really know how bindings were attached. I learned how to quilt from a book and the binding instructions weren’t too clear.

When I first started quilting, I was on my own. I was self taught, learning new things as I went along. When I was working on a pattern that required half square triangles, I dutifully cut out all the triangles and sewed the blocks together.

It was only after I’d been quilting for a while that I learned there was a much easier way to make these blocks.
