    ...use binding on a baby bib? I was following a pattern that didn't use binding - it was one where you ended up turning it inside out at the end - but I messed up and it ended up being so the only way I could save anything would be to quilt like a regular quilt.

    So my question is - are you supposed to/allowed to use binding for a baby bib? Or would that in someway be bad for the baby? I just hadn't seen a pattern where it used binding...

    The original pattern (which I deviated from) can be found at http://sewshesews.wordpress.com/2010...-and-tutorial/

    I can't think of any reason that you couldn't use binding on the bib ... it looks very cute!

    Whew, thanks ladies! I was afraid I'd done all that quilting for nothing...not that I guess it was a lot of quilting compared to a blanket! ;) Still, I'm relieved.

    I thnik no matter what you doing it will look good. yoi can do a strip and cut it on the bias it make a great binding.
    you could even leave it lorg so you can tie it.

    I had 6 bibbs they were store bough not like yourhand made. Since mine were plan I machine Emb some design on the front of the bibbs

    I think I'd make sure to cut the binding on the bias so it will go around the curves better.

    I don't see why not, it wouldn't be any different than putting binding on a pot holder. So long as it well secured it'll be just fine.

    *edit* btw cute bib :)

    Ya know, for some reason regular sewing binding popped into my head. Quilt binding should work too, but I'd keep it rather small/narrow.
