An inexpensive dose of Avastin injected into the eyes surpassed a conventional laser treatment in fixing a leading cause of blindness in babies born prematurely, according to a new study.

Binding -Double-fold & continuous

Double-fold Binding - Continuous seam 

Sew on a continuous double-fold binding with invisible ending.

Strips:  Cut 2 1/2" strips WOF.

How long?  Measure the entire perimeter of the quilt and add 15".  Divide this total measurement by 42'" to determine the number of strips.  


Sew each strip - end-to-end at a 45 degree angle.  (just like the border strips)

Press the strip in half lengthwise.
