I'm hoping for a Friday Finish and nice enough weather to get some photos of the quilt outside.

Binding Project
This week, I'm learning how to bind inside angles and 90+degree outside angles. It's taking awhile, but it's going pretty well. I looked at a lot of different tutorials and thought about doing the whole thing by machine, but in the end I decided to stitch it on the front by machine and do hand sewing on the back. That way I could fiddle with the miters. They're not perfect, but I'm pleased with how they're turning out. I'm glad I could do this with crossgrain binding. Bias binding and I don't get along.

Looks great Janine. Has it taken a lot of extra time? I suppose when you factor in the piecing to gain the straight edge, it might not be too bad? Either way, it is lovely. :-)
I'm glad you are able to work out the binding. I have done the outward points/angles before, but never the other. Your quilt is looking so good.
This is look great, though fiddly!
Good for you, Janine! I have made one quilt that had inside corners and found it to be a valuable learning experience. Yours is looking fantastic! Looking forward to your Friday Finish!
Beautiful & Challenging! I can't wait to see the finish!
Your binding came our great and totally inspires me!
