Next up: mitered corners
#1
Progress update on the baby quilt:
The center is done and the wider piano key border pieced. Last night I attached the inner border--2" of pink to the 4 sides of the center, leaving each edge unsewn 1/4" from each corner. Plenty of extra border fabric hanging off each end. Does that make sense?
Now I am reading up on how to finish these corners! Would love to hear your favorite techniques, advice. I'm reading up on every tutorial I can find!

This is the link to PittsburgPam's post. It is just so easy. Good luck.

I just read something about glue this morning, BellaBoo. I think it was in regards to binding. Maybe you had posted it? I'm going to have to look up the glue method. Is that in place of the pins in Pittsburgh Pam's tutorial?

I use Pam's method every time and I always have an almost perfect mitered corner! The hotter your iron, the better it works! Here's a picture of the last mitered corner I did using her tutorial.
