Magic Strip Binding
This technique was featured as the Easy Lesson in Quilters Newsletter Magazine, Dec/Jan 2010. Other machine binding methods look similar, but this one always looks good on the back too! And it's done completely by machine.
These samples use contrasting fabrics for the binding and Magic Strip, but I would recommend using the same fabric for both on your first few projects. Once you’re comfortable with the process and happy with the look, try contrasting fabrics for an extra design element. Download directions below.
Fast Finish Triangles
These triangles provide a way to hang a small wallhanging from a single nail. And, it's done completely by machine. Add optional extra triangles at the bottom to weight piece with another dowel.
This was a recommended hanging method for quilts donated to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.
The back of this little quilt appeared in an article about hanging methods, in the November 2006 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter magazine! You can see the front on my Wall page.
GRIM RIPPER — 2013
I created this tiny quilt as a donation to the WV Quilt Festival Little Quilt Auction.
Fons and Porter offered this as a free pattern on their website. They shared it as a Halloween design, but I think it's an all year theme for quilters!
It's still available here:https://www.quiltingcompany.com/grim-ripper-whimsical-mini-halloween-quilt/
