Instruction number 11 (I think) -- Put on binding.
A quilt came to me. My job is to put on binding... Hmmm. Lots of nice circles in this quilt. How about trying something new?
Don't you love how I experiment with other people's quilts? I had some great striped fabric in the right color and right away figured it would make nice bias binding resulting in diagonal lines. Well, if I'm going to make bias binding anyway why not try some curves to tie in with all the circles?
Maybe I should have been gentler with my curves. On the other hand, if nothing else this quilt is interesting. This is so far away from whatever the original person had in mind that at this point whatever is done can't go wrong, or can't go right, depending on how you look at it.I'm pretty sure the owner of this quilt doesn't visit my blog (there are only two people in the group that do) so I'm showing this here...
Hopefully next month will be the unveiling for all eight Mini Round Robins!

Love it, love it! It is perfect with the circles and curves. You did a great job.
So pretty! I think the scalloped border really adds a lot. You are brave...oh, and the envelope label, another stroke of excellent thinking cap work!
FABULOUS binding, Tanya - this really makes the quilt! Great job!
the scalloped border is just what the doctor ordered for this one! I'm sure the owner will be pleased.
This quilt at least has turned out beautifully, I hope the owner will be pleased with such a lovely work of art. I think the scalloped border looks terrific.
The quilt is fabulous Tanya- I love the rich colored binding with the scalloped edge. It really finishes it beautifully. I love all the curves in the design and very pretty fabrics.
You do have so many interesting projects Tanya!
Regards,
Anna
wow...fantastic finish!! I am very curious as to how all the others turned out! Can't wait to see them next month!!
The scalloped border adds a lot. It is beautiful. I've yet to try scalloped borders, but I've wanted to. I chickened out every time!
Absolutely beautiful. Your creative muse was tapping you on the shoulder!

Oh Tanya - your curvy edging is just perfect - it tuens a very mediocre final border on a lovely busy quilt into a real compliment to the piece - inspired (and very courageous both for the idea and the technique)
I love the scallops. I've never done one myself but after my successful binding of the Tumbler quilt I feel confident enough to attempt another irregular edge and bias binding should the quilt call for it.
It is perfect with the circles and curves. You did a great job.
