Start Your Monday with A Quilt Pattern to Make

English Rose Quilt Block Pattern

I know I’m tired when I start a Monday, with corn chips and a VERY large cup of coffee. I’ve been dipping the chips in the coffee too, I think it’s all the cream that just happened to make it’s way into my cup….Don’t tell.
You have to LOVE a Quilt pattern named, “English Rose” what says quilting more than as English Rose. This quilt block is made even better from the fabric that was used, the leaves and vines.
The finished size this quilt block is ten inches by ten inches.  If you’d like the complete set of 53 of this series and how to make the quilt, it’s HERE for you ! 

And NOW in Print TOO!

My MOST Asked for How To !

Quilt Binding and Hand Stitching it Down

I’m sharing the way “I” do quilt binding. Like everything in quilting there are MANY ways. This is the way “I” do it ! ! 

I have tried and used other methods, but I always come back to this way. IF you ever think, “Should I pin this?” “PIN IT!” I am a firm believer that a moment to pin is better than a moment of seam ripping !
This post is huge with LOTS of pictures.

Cut your strip 2 ½” inches wide and long enough to go 
all the around your quilt PLUS 6-8 Inches
More is ALWAYS better with this in my mind. 
 
The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK 

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

 Cut enough strips to go around the outside edge of your
quilt. Sew all strips together with a 45-degree angle.

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

 Sew and Trim to ¼ inch seam allowance

Open and Press and trim any ends. 
Do this to make all binding needed.
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind
The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK
 How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind
BUT ALWAYS check YOUR BOBBIN THREAD, make sure you have enough to make it all the way around the quilt. NOTHING worse than to stop and fill or change a bobbin! 
 
 
This is where “I” do it a bit different, I just can’t get the seam right using the fold the corner way, I do a straight seam here as shown.

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

Start sewing about 5-6 inches from your binding end, 

Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance. 

 I mark with a pin on each corner

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind
Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance. Stop ¼ from
the edge. Back stitch a few stitches.
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the BindFold the binding back.
Fold binding back down on to the Quilt. Match up edges.
A diagonal fold will form between the
layers and a straight fold on top. Do corners one at a time, but
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the BindDo this on all four corners
Stop sewing about 4-5 inches from the first end. 
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the BindPin well, fold over and match the ends
