an important part of the quilting i do as they have allowed me to learn and experiment while giving to those in need.
don’t worry about perfection or the “rules,” just make things! for example, i’m all about machine-binding because it’s practical, quicker, holds up well, and easier (for me). but it took me a while to figure out how to do it well; thus, i highly recommend making lots of small items on which to play with and practice binding — no matter whether you machine- or hand-bind your quilts. another tip: i often use flannel as a batting. it crinkles up beautifully and creates a lovely mid-weight quilt. for
