I cut my binding 1 1/4" wide and attached the right side of quilt. I do not do a double binding on the little quilts.
Next week we'll link up so we can see them all in once place!! Thanks you so much for playing along. It thrills me to no end.

Mountain Trail Finale
Several of you have let me know you are quilting your little quilt or are finished. Woo-Hoo!!
I wanted to tell you about my little boo-boo. I'm sure none of you will make the same mistake, but I'll pass along the info anyway.
You should be able to click and enlarge this photo. When quilting around the outside strip that runs parallel to the binding, don't quilt directly in the middle. I didn't leave room for the binding seam allowance so my quilting is right to the edge. I'm not quite sure how everything got so cut off, but that's why my blog is called Humble Quilts. That one square has turned into a rectangle! lol

Be sure to add a label with your name and a date! I hope you have had a good time putting this little quilt together.

Love the colors! I don't look for boo boo's... The pattern would make a beautiful big quilt!
ReplyDeleteI've heard the Amish always put a mistake in their quilts on purpose because only God can make perfection. Wonderful Amish quilt tradition, just say you agree with that!!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting my little quilt today and am hoping to have it nearly finished by week end. I've finished a couple of UFOs, so don't feel bad about starting a new project. Especially this one.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lori, I have made that same boo-boo on more than one occasion!
ReplyDeleteI should be assembling mine today or tomorrow. Can't wait.
Your quilt is perfect the way it is! Gorgeous! I finished my top yesterday, using 1.5 inch strips. It's big enough that borders aren't necessary, so I'll just bind it in the red. It was fun and rewarding using my scraps, but it didn't make a dent. Can I send an email picture since I am not a blogger yet?
ReplyDeletei think that it looks pretty fabulous too~! maybe doll quilts look even better with a bit of "humble" in them . . . at least i think so.
ReplyDeletei too have made the same quilting mistake a time or two. one would think i would remember after having done it once but nope, i occasionally still forget. thanks for the reminder.
looking forward to the link up next week. i'll have a flimsy by the end of the day (fingers crossed).

I am ready to put on a border now and I am paying attention to how you have quilted it. I am thrilled with the progress so far. No one would have noticed if you hadn't pointed out a mistake and how rude of them if they did. Love it. Thank you.
ReplyDeletelove your quilt just the way it is!
ReplyDeletegreat backing fabric btw!

Dying to see all who took part Lori. Hope your going to get everyone to show them.
ReplyDeleteLove how you bordered just the two sides. The backing fabric is fun! I am so far behind, I know I won't be finished in time, but it will be fun to see all that sewed along:)
ReplyDeleteI think a certain amount of imperfection is charming. Love the colors and style of your little quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt, Lori!! Love, love, love!!
ReplyDeleteI love how it came out and the little mistakes, just make it, that much more wonderful.

This was THE QUICKEST little sweetie. Once it was cut, it flew together in one day while our roof was being replaced. It made a nerve rattling day very fun and I was totally preoccupied with it. LOL, I enjoyed the day! I appreciate your little tutorials and the treasures that come from them. Thanks again.

Only you see the Booboo, I think it is perfect. Love all your quilts.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I have really enjoyed sewing these blocks and hope to get the project completely finished by
ReplyDeletelink-up time!
I so wish I would have joined in on the fun! I like how you finished yours with the wide red borders on the top and bottom. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute little quilt. I think I may have to make one of these. I just went back and found all the directions. I have some scraps that will do nicely.
ReplyDeleteI love that 'eye' fabric you used for the backing...it makes me chuckle. I am working on my quilt and will have it done for next weeks link up. I hope to have a post up by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteblessings, jill
Gosh, I wish I were a hand quilter. Yours looks so wonderful, and it's perfect for this little cutie. My top is together, but is yet to be basted and quilted. Love your backing!!
ReplyDeleteLori, it's simply delightful!i love that it looks almost primitive, and naive..beautiful! i want to make one too..hope to make a start on the weekend :))))
ReplyDeletecheers...Marian
I finished up my little quilt top today and love how it came out. This is the first quiltalong I have ever participated in, and you made it so fun and easy. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove your little top Lori...I sure wish my life would settle down a bit so I could enjoy a quilt a long.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable. I am still going to make this quilt. It will not be for a while. I over extended at work and then my daughter's wedding reception is coming up next month. I am not ready for any of it.
