Sewing Binding Down On “Sprinkles”

Here’s another post I wrote and didn’t send some days ago. Now “Sprinkles” is done, and I’ll post more about this adorable little quilt soon. Meanwhile, I have a nice link below that gave me a really good method to match backing prints.

Look at this awesome matching of this backing print!

I saw a method in the October 2023 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine done by Maria Brooks. However, I don’t think I can put a picture of that page here without violating their copyright rules.

So I googled “How to Match Prints for Quilt Backing” and came up with this same method by Suzy Quilts. Note: using one of the thicker, cheaper glue sticks is a better bet financially for this method instead of the Sew Line glue stick (which I also love) which is more expensive.

  1. Wonderful quilting! I just finished a quilt top yesterday, and pieced the back. Yes, it is tricky to line up and match everything. Now on to the actual quilting on my Janome, and then the binding. I know there are sewists who would prefer not to bind a quilt, but it is my favorite part.

    Thank you for sharing your healthy meals and joyful quilts..

    1. My favorite quilty part is the actual piecing. There is something about bringing order to chaos. Or in seeing a finished set of blocks on the design wall. I love the hand sewing of bindings too–and have always hand sewn mine.
