Now this is where the sugar comes in. I chose to make mine out of Sugar Pop by Liz Scott for Moda. It so reminds me of the 70's. Maybe the Brady Bunch years. Remember that era?
I bound this quilt by machine which is so different for me. It wasn't really that bad to do either. I don't know though there's just something about hand binding I like better. Maybe it's the warmth and the comfiness of the quilt on my lap.

The walking foot is really helpful when you are binding by machine.
Not to shabby for my first attempt. Look at that lovely corner, just perfect!
After all the ric rac is added and it's all bound you stick it in the washer and dryer to get the raw edge on the circle.

This quilt was so fun I'm making another. So now I showing you a little Love Blossom from Amy Butler. Can't wait to show you the finished one.
You can find a kit for this quilt at the Corn Wagon. Stop in and see it for yourself.

I hope these two quilts are going to a good home (maybe my home)!
That does look like a fun quilt. I have such a hard time getting binding done I just may try the machine binding.
I like your new blog look.
Oh yes, I'm loving that jumbo ric rac!
I've been using Sharon Schamber's method of binding using starch and glue and I've been able to get perfect bindings every time. She has a set of videos online showing exactly how to do it. I like it mostly because I don't have to use any pins so I don't stab myself and get spots of blood all over my quilts anymore! Have you tried it?
I'll have to be on the lookout for that magazine!
