Ok. Today I went on vacation. That is what I am calling it anyway. I took so me money out of the bank and went to the quilt shop. I can hear you shaking your heads already my quilting friends. You can see where this is already leading too. I will say that I went into the quilt shop to just get three fat quarters. For my non quilting friends that should have cost around $6. Instead I walked out with a BIG bag and $170 less. I bought a couple of books and fabric. I'll take a picture later and post it here.
On one of my yahoo quilting groups that I belong to, somebody posted about knife edge binding. Have you heard of that before? It certainly looks easier. I might have to try it on my next doll quilt. Here is a link that explains it a little bit.

Basically the front doesn't look like it has binding on it, only the back. It's for when you don't want the binding to distract from the front....like what I was looking for with my American Eagle redwork.
