You might remember that back in September a friend gave me some fabric and I dove right into it creating a new Squirrel!! Its okay if you don't remember, I had to go back and read my own blog to see how long ago it was... good thing for blogs.
Anyways - here I am on it!!
Got a few more things to cut, then I can start assembling!!
My New Binding tool!!!
If you have followed me for a while, you will remember - Binding is just my least favorite thing. Its not that I don't like the binding ( okay it might be) but I think it is more that I am ready to move on to something else. Patience has never been a word to describe me!
Don't you love them? a little gadget to make things more fun, keep my binding organized, and!! I even have some PRE MADE binding for my QOV's - all ready to go now, so I could play with my little gadgets.
He is selling them - check them out here: Binding Tools
I am kind of excited about them - Hopefully that keeps me going on actually starting to love binding... A girl can hope!!

What clever binding tools. I try to cut binding as I finish quilt tops, but it doesn't always happen. And usually doesn't for the truly scrappy quilts - until they are quilted.
I'm not a fan of binding either but I always make my binding as soon as I finish the quilt top then place it in a baggie, label it (this is extremely important!) then hang it on a hanger in the closet. That way when the quilt top is quilted, the binding is ready to go. Like you said, that is one step out of the way. Another good reason is sometimes that fabric gets used in another project and you go crazy trying to find the fabric you intended to use, been there, done that!
Those churn dashes are really pretty together. A binding ladder - what a great idea!
That's a nice gadget that he made for you!
The churn dashes look great-very modern! Smart son to the rescue--the gadget is a great idea.
Love the cream sashing and hot pink corner stones. Good idea with the gadget. . .don't we all need a gadget or two???
Those Churn Dash blocks are such fun! Love the colors. Very cool binding tool! What a great collab between Mom and Son.
Love your churn dash play and that binding tool is cool. I have wanted one and soon I will have 3....so excited. Thanks for sharing!
I have some of those in wood for binding. Cute blocks!
