Somewhere I saw a tutorial on TV that showed how to do wedding ring stripping. They sewed strips together and then cut the arc - this way it was all sewed up. Probably there is an amount of waste involved but i have never tried to make one so I do not know. My very first piece I quilted was a bear paw wall hanging which in my ignorance, I quilted on my lap! My next project was a queen size quilt with large scallop shell appliques on a white background with tuquoise strips marking the blocks. I liked the pattern and no one told me that it was a challenge to do. I found getting those darn strips straight was the biggest challenge! It came out great and my grandson loves it. I also drew lighthouses in the blank blocks and quilted themin colored threads. This was destined for a Florida address so it all made sense to me. I must of been really nuts to try but after that, nothing else bothered me.

Do a tutorial? Me? Eeeks! I'll try. I have grandkids staying with me this week so I will try to do it next week. Oh, dear. :-)
If you will go to Missouri Star Quilt, they have good tutorials on bindings.
