But that all goes out the window when I’m dealing with stripes. A mis-matched stripe on the join of two binding strips is very noticeable! Luckily, it is very easy to match up your stripy binding, and doesn’t take much more time! You’ll need your strips, pre-cut, and an Elmer’s washable glue stick. I cut my strips at 2.5″ wide here but 2.25″ will work as well. I’m using Riley Blake Designs 1/2″ stripes in this tutorial, but it works with all stripe widths. This tutorial assumes you’re making double-fold binding for quilting. 1. Start by pressing one edge of a binding strip to get a 45 degree fold line. When pressing, make sure that fold past the selvage. 2. Using the glue stick, apply a small amount of glue to the edge you just folded, match it up on another binding strip and glue in place. 3. Unfold your pressed strip and sew on the fold line. 4. Trim 1/4″ past your sewing line. 5. Gently un-stick the glue and press the seam open to minimize bulk. 6. There you go! Stripes that match! Or in my case, mostly match. 😉 You can use this technique to make color blocked stripes, too! Repeat the steps until you have one continuous strip of binding fabric, then fold in half and bind your quilt with your preferred method....

If you want to make 2020 the year you keep track of your WIPs, you can download my free printable, which is what I personally use as well! I count a completed quilt as one that got finished within that year. So although some of these were WIPs I carried into 2019, I managed to get them quilted and bound and *finished* in 2019. (This evens itself out since I carry WIPs into every year). Now, on to the quilts! Most of them have their own blog posts, so click on the caption to read more about each one! 12 baby quilts: Modern Crossing Quilt Zesty Quilt Misty Mountains Quilt Bear Path Quilt Sidewalk Chalk Quilt Bear Path Quilt Misty Mountains Quilt Etoile Quilt Charm Square Quilt Ships in the Night Mini Double Mountain Quilt Nutcracker Suite Quilt 24 throw quilts: Nutcracker Suite Modern Crossing Etoile Etoile Summer Glow I Heart You Meadowland Bear Path Concrete Jungle Harvest Star Bear Path Concrete Jungle Low Volume Improv Celtic Crossing Zesty Misty Mountains Meadowland Modern Crossing Concrete Jungle Harvest Star Misty Mountains Bear Path Dino tracks Celtic Crossing 1 bed quilt: Celtic Crossing Quilt...

The best part is that I’ve partnered with Paintbrush Studio Fabrics to bring this pattern to you for FREE! Summer Glow makes a 51″ x 66″ throw size quilt and uses mostly fat quarters so it is a great stash-busting quilt! This quilt was made with the Picnic fabric collection by Mable Tan for Paintbrush Studio Fabrics. These fabrics make me think of warm days, picnics in the park, and summer gardens! I had visions of an outdoor photoshoot with this quilt, but by the time I received the fabrics and made the quilt, well, it is currently December in Wisconsin. So, unless I wanted a picnic in the snow, I had to rethink my photoshoot! As a side note, I did have a piñata in the snow one year. The downfall of a winter birthday! This quilt would look amazing in all sorts of fabrics. I see a holiday version with some sparkly fabrics in my future! I quilted it with free motion loops, and I know this quilt will have the best crinkles once I wash it. The Picnic fabric collection is in stores now!
