It's about those joins!!

This quilt
was made from fat quarters.  All the blocks were cut 5 1/2" to finish at 5" so the liner would measure 20 x 30.   Well, I hoped it would.  It came mighty close.
When it came time to bind I had nothing but one fat quarter that would do the task at hand.  I had to cut and then join it 5 times.
 After I had four joins done, I ran the strip around the perimeter of the quilt to make sure that not one join would be on a corner.  I had to change my start point because of course, the first one did!!  As you can see, not one of the joins hit a corner when I was done.
 It takes a couple of minutes to run the binding around the perimeter but it is so much easier to do this than to try to sew a join in a corner.  
All done and by the time you read this, it has been delivered to the hospital.
