Ta-da!
I have finished the sewing of the flag throw.
My plan is to present it to Andy tomorrow.
The piecing part was a lot of work, but the finishing was not exactly simple.
I spent quite a bit of time thinking about the best way to do the trimming. In the end, it was quite easy.
 |
| Trimmed, ready for binding. |
The cutting of the bias binding was a breeze. I had watched a YouTube video on the folding technique that made it really easy to cut a bunch of binding quickly.
 |
| My walking foot acted up while I was sewing on the binding, but I was able to finish with a regular foot without any trouble. |
 |
| I love the clips for this job. But even with the right tools, it is work to sew on the binding. I sewed it on the back first, and then used a decorative stitch when I sewed it on the front. |
 |
| I forgot about attaching a label until I was done, but I made it work. |
I'm really happy to have this completed and am looking forward to gifting it to Andrew tomorrow.
A Memorial Day quilt of valor for my nephew.
