Binding an Autumn Quilt

Over the decades, there have been SO many autumnal color-themed quilts. This is yet another one of them. This was made some time during the pandemic. It’s a Disappearing Nine Patch and it’s from a batik collection I got up in New Hampshire on a random masked excursion. They were a 10″ layer cake.

For this binding, I had some of the dotted green and made that into strips. Since there are no curves, I chose to just use the cross-wise grain of the fabric versus cutting on the bias. That’s a more economical use of limited resources, and paid off well.
