The Ties that Bind

I'm cutting bias strips to make bias tape bindings on five quilts.

I totally hate bias strips. I hate cutting them, stitching them into ridiculous yards and yards and yards of bias tape. I hate pressing them, sewing them and finishing them by hand. And yet.

I only use bias bindings on my quilts. Why? Masochism? Devotion to a tradition I gleefully split from when I piece and quilt by machine? I really have no idea why I do it.

I just do. Two of the five are spoken for. The other three will be going up for sale, soon.
