DWR:: Step 11: Mitered Join for the Binding

Friday, June 30, 2017

Follow along as I make Free Spirit Fabric's Double Wedding Ring Quilt.

To connect the last 10" of the binding in a pretty mitered edge requires a couple of extra fancy steps.

1. Leave 7" binding tails from start and end.
   
   
2. Trim overlapping binding to the width of the binding (about 2.5").
   
   
3. Pin binding overlap, right sides together at a perpendicular angle and sew horizontal seam across.
   
   
4. Trim horizontal seam allowance to 1/4".
   
   
5. Fold now mitered-seam binding in half
   
   
6. Sew remaining bias to top of quilt as before.
