Help! Binding!
#1
This is the first time I have gotten this far on a project.
I made this wall hanging for my mom for her retirement gift (her party is the 10th) and I'm confused about the binding. I have 4 strips (blue like the water on the quilt) that are cut 2 inches wide. I want to do a double fold binding. Am I supposed to connect my strips before I start pressing them and sewing them on?

stitch your binding strips together, press in half with wrong sides together so you have one long fabric strip 1" wide then machine stitch using a 1/4" seam raw edges together ( binding and quilt) to the front of the quilt, fold binding over to the back and hand stitch down.
binding is my favorite part, because i know when it is done i have completed another project :) i still struggle with my miter's though...usually on every quilt i will have 2 or 3 perfect miters and one...really bad one...i don't know why...i keep practicing though ;)
