All Hand Quilting Done

Simple Pattern with Hand Quilting

I’ve been hand quilting for quite a bit on this, it is what I had been working on at my Monday quilt group. So every Monday I stitch at home and it’s now all done.
When I was teaching, this was my beginner’s quilt 5 week class, the classes quilt pattern would have been 2 1/2″ squares, I cut mine down for a table topper size. Taper Candles
The squares are cut 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ the triangles cut 1 7/8″ x 1 7/8″ Machine pieced and hand quilted.

HERE is my binding tutorial for you 
On a regular size quilt, I would cut my binding strips 2 1/2″ wide, but on this little one, I cut them 1 1/4″ wide.
I like, little quilts to have little binding.

Quilt binding tutorialThis is before the binding is turned and sewn down. You can turn it under and see what you like before trimming around the entire quilt.  I like to hand sew the binding down, I can get the corners, better and yes, you will have to mess with them a bit to get them perfect, they are VERY tiny.
