The thing about the fun and done is it doesn't have any borders. The edges of the blocks become your binding. I am thinking it will be better when its washed, The back is all white,
You cut the backing fabric 3 inches larger than your background fabric, your batting is the same size as your background fabric. (In this case I made the backing 12" the background and the batting 10")
then I pin the leaves and the largest flower round and sew the whole thing at one time. (so it quilts while I piece) then follow with the 3 smaller rounds one at a time again quilting through all of the fabric,
One you have at least 2 then you put the backs together and sew along the batting/background line (1") so that they are on the front of your quilt. Take the pieces that are sticking out of the front of your quilt fold them in half then fold that down to the background and top stitch.
You repeat this for the whole row and then repeat to attach the rows together, the final step is go around the whole outside of the quilt and fold the 1" that is left the same way as the in-betweens and top stitch them down to the quilt.
In my mind with the white backing and the green background it would look like roses on a trellis. I think its the cold medicine that is making me question everything I do.
