🌙 Moon Diamond Sewalong – Week 8: The End

We are up to Week 8, the end of our Moon Diamond Sewalong adventure with Anne Boundy from Said With Love. This week is about quilting and sewing on the binding.

Anne chose to make a gradated binding (photo on left) for her quilt so that the binding follows the background colours of the quilt … and wow! Certainly a little bit fiddlier than doing a single fabric binding, but well worth the effort!
