[...] I’ve decided to start yet another quilt! We’re doing an à la carte quilting series at the workroom. Since we’re learning a new block every month, I’m going to put all my blocks together and make another sampler quilt. [...]

Congratulations Karyn! It’s beautiful and was a great inspiration to my New Beginning Sampler. I’ll bring the top into the store when we’re ready for borders.

Very nice for a first quilt, very inspiring! The color combination is truly nice. I too wish I was close to your shop. Maybe on my next trip to visit family in Toronto …

Oh Karyn, that is so beautiful!

Melissa! I have the same problem as you.
Karyn knows how much I love making bias binding, but I so suck at sewing it onto anything (a slight kink in the plan!!-if only you could just endlessly make bias tape without actually having to adhere it to anything!)
In fact I gave a baby blanket to our friends for their new baby that involved bias tape binding and at the shower when they opened it I said that they could only show the ‘good side’ to everyone.
Maybe we do need a bias tape primer (or on-line tutorial)

comme c’est beau! you’re so awesome!
oh karyn, if only there was a class out there just for bias binding. i suckity suck. it always looks nice in the front but the back is so hideous. i should start making cute little disclaimers for my bias bound projects: “please do not flip or look at the back”.

Oh my goodness, this is lovely.

I am so jealous of that map fabric!
