WIPping on the Stripes!

Who doesn't love stripes? Okay, so maybe there are people that don't love stripes, but I adore them, especially for binding.
The binding on my Koi Pond quilt is almost complete.

Not quite halfway around. I decided this quilt deserved a hand stitched binding. I glue my bindings before I stitch them so much better than pins.
Yesterday, I finished my Sweet Little Orphan Baby quilt, with a striped binding. Not bad considering last week, I had just completed the top! This was my first project using a longarm machine to quilt - lots of fun!



So one finish this week and one almost finished. WOW, my list is kind of small! Guess I'm going to have to get some new projects started!

Here are this weeks stats:
In-process: (2)
 Elephant quilt
Koi Pond quilt -  Finish the binding

 New projects: (0)

Finished (1)
Orphan Baby Quilt. - done

    I agree about the stripes. Although I am also extremely fond of plaid and paisley as bindings as well.

    Did you get a longarm??? I might have missed something there. :)

    I'm intrigued by the gluing technique. Do you just use a regular old glue stick, or something else? There's a tip and trick for a guild meeting sometime. :)
