FABULOUS!!!!!!! i have made several rag quilts and the outside edge is never as full as the rest. This would frame it so nicely. Great job!!!! I'll definitely be trying this.

I very much agree this is a much prettier finish. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing...what a great idea. I've made a couple and a binding would have been just the finish touch to the quilt.

Nice job and guess what? You used up some more denim!! Thanks for sharing...also if you rinse your quilt in water and let it partially dry; snipping the edges goes so much easier and not so hard on the hands.
