Enjoy this 6 minute video and maybe learn something new about binding a quilt. The method she shares for joining the ends was “new to me” and I plan to use it on my next small quilt. The traditional angled miter is OK on large projects, but very difficult on small ones. This might also be a good “trick” for you.
