Make Binding and Sew it to Your Quilt

One of the last things you'll do to your quilt is sew on binding to cover up its outer edges. By the time that task rolls around you're often tired and just want to get it over with so that you can move on to the next project. Take a deep breath--and don't get in so much of a hurry to finish that you slap the binding on in any old way, because it's not difficult at all to make binding strips from any fabric you choose and sew them to the quilt with sleek, mitered corners.
