It was completely accidental that it happens to have 3 perfect Windows logos in it! Crazy -leave it to my children to come up with that one! I straight line quilted it with pretty pastel threads to match the 'windows' and now the binding is all done.
So, to all the Pinners, "gee thanks!" : ) You've completely doubled the hits this blog gets in only 2 months. Stick around and see what I have up my sleeve this fall. You just might see more you like!
I am linking to The Needle & Thread Network for WIP Wednesday, as well as Lee's at Freshly Pieced. While you are over at TN&TN, check out the past couple of posts! We're celebrating one year with some cool prizes. Later!

Pinterest rocks. Way to go. :)

Binding is my favourite part too!
Lovely quilt...very bright and cheery:) I looked at your binding tutorial and my mum made her's the same way. She always made her own binding for everything. She was a tailoress and boy do I wish I had paid more attention when she did some of her sewing tricks.
What a beautiful quilt, Monika!I love hand sewing binding as well, although I have never made bias binding! On my to-try list.:-)
binding .... just another way to frame up our quilts and add a little more intrest.... I love to use scrappy bindings on my scrappy quilts, that way nothing goes to waste.
in stitches
I never seem to have enough scraps to make a scrappy binding!!
I really like the way you quilted this one..very simple clean lines..love it!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing!
I love the colors in this quilt. I always use white thread when quilting on white, must try to be brave and use a colored thread someday.
love the quilt Monika....it is so fresh....
I heart binding too! It gets me totally in touch with the quilt I am going to give away so that I make sure everything is just perfect...not the stitching, the sentiment.
I don't mind binding. This is a lovely quilt. Simple is sew the best!
Great quilt! I too, love binding. Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday.
Binding is my *least favourite part of the process - which is why I do an envelope closure on my art pieces! ;)
This one's lovely though - I do love a scrappy binding - I'm just glad it's not me who had to do it! lol
I get your love of binding, although I do mine completely on a machine. Love your quilt and might make one like it as I've been asked to make one for a charity.
Lovely quilt!! It's what might be called a 'modern', no? I'm intrigued with this concept of modern quilts. White seems to be a big qualification. That or very geometric. Aren't you worried about it getting dirty quickly? I always think about that with all this white so many people are liking.
It's interesting that you actually like binding! I know that there are a lot of quilts in cupboards waiting for that final step!
Carol :)
I love this quilt and want to make one just like it!
