Olivia's Big Girl Quilt

We spent Memorial Day at

Liberty Station.

It is the former Naval Training Station

and has been conversed to Public use.

They have done a wonderful job keeping the original buildings and feel.

It seemed so perfect to spend our Memorial day there.

While there we took pictures of my newest finish.

This is a big girl quilt for my niece Olivia's

Big Girl bed.

It will be in the mail this week.

I sure hope it fits her bed and she enjoys it.

A finish!

I am super happy with this twister quilt.

I used a layer cake of 

Aneela Hoey's A Walk in the Woods.

and the Jane Taylor twist ruler.

(purchased with a Joann's 50% coupon)

Finished the month after the baby was born.

Not too bad.

I saw a tutorial for a raw edge binding a few months ago.

However I can't remember where I saw it and google wasn't much help.

I had to do if from guess and memory.

That and not give the proper credit.

I cut 3 1/4 inch strips

folded in half for double sided binding.

Attached to the back as I would normally attach to the front.

(this is all the same as I normally would do my binding)

Folded it over and pinned the fabric down.

Clipped the raw edge as I would a rag quilt.

Washed and dried.

Love it!

However I am going to test with wider strips next time.
