I have had a scrappy tumbler quilt waiting to be bound for months. I just couldn't make myself trim the ends. My mom mentioned that she would love to see it trimmed and bound around those tumblers. But I'm sure I'll give the quilt to a friend or family member who wouldn't have any idea about how hard that was to do. So finally I did it. I marked a straight line and I CUT IT.
. Then, I bound it and I'm happy to say that it's done.
It is absolutely gorgeous! And yes, I've looked at those beautifully bound tumblers, not trimmed. Then I said, NO, not going to even try it. And yes, finished is so much better than perfect in my world.

looks great ! Wise decision... Kate
Thanks, Kate!
You made me laugh. I would have a hard time cutting the tumbler edges off myself.
And yes, a finished quilt is a great thing.

I have a large tumbler die, maybe I'll make one of those and bind all the edges. Someday...
Thank you
