When I was in Duluth, I saw a quilt that had triple piping trim. It was remarkable and she had all of them mitered perfectly with the borders to the binding corner. Yeah, judges were impressed. I am going to have to use this technique and also get the book. Will help me in my judging paperwork I have to get done.

Well I finally got it done. After more than a year, last three weeks torture it seemed, I finished this beauty. It is Sweetheart Houses by Shabby Fabrics. I even put the embellishments on. All the buttons and pearls, I even added an eye on the bird as an extra because I thought it needed it. I did machine stitch the binding down because it needed done today so could be mailed. It is not going in a show so I am good. At least one UFO done this month!!!!!

Rob, it's terrific! Looks like your first experience with piping was a great success! Congratulations on your UFO finish 6 years in the making. Toot, Toot!
Hey all, I finally have a finish for June. I thought it would never be done, mainly because I tried a new to me technique--adding piping ---which then meant hand sewing the binding down on the back, which was made harder by using black thread on the black binding---I finally had to get my jeweler's magnifiers to be able to see. First photo is front, second is back and third is detail showing piping since it doesn't want to show up in the other photos.
It's about 49" square and parts of it have been sitting around for at least 6 years...

I got rid of another ufo. I had a quilt panel and all my fabric set up, then had it set to assemble, just never finished. Well it is now going to be part of my Row by Row quilt as the side rows for the border. I will have photos once it is finished, couple more days. Excited to see a UFO gone. Yes another one bites the dust.

This isn't a really old UFO, but it is done. It has only been on my pile for a year. I hope to have the binding sewn down on a quilt before the end of the month. I just keep plugging away. I have also finished a few things that were not UFO's.
