Just popping in to share a video of how I add a facing to my quilts. If you’re not familiar with this method of finishing your quilts, it’s a fabulous way to get a borderless finish on quilts. It’s particularly good for quilts that have design elements that extend all the way to the edge of the quilt that you wouldn’t want to cut off abruptly with the small border that a traditional double-fold binding creates. While there are a number of variations on this technique, this is my current go-to:
Here are a couple more examples of quilts like that; I hope you’ll try the technique the next time a border would just not be right for your quilt!

Neat method! I’ve heard of it but never saw how it was done. Thanks for sharing!
I love this method, especially for modern style quilts. It does not distract from the quilt’s theme design.
J’adore votre merveilleuse étoile à plumes !!!
