No photos for me!<br /><br />Your floral fabric on the back is beautiful and I was wondering if you turned it to the front like self binding or if you cut strips of the floral fabric and sewed on like regular binding. I think you cut strips by looking at the corner photo but just wanted to check. Kristyn @ Melon Patch Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351066231307742259noreply@blogger.com
