This is the latest binding project forwarded to me by mom.  This fiber artist lives in San Francisco and she wanted an 'art quilt binding' put on this piece.  I did an art quilt binding on my guild challenge last year, so I agreed to do it.  The art quilt binding wraps all the way around to the back so that you don't see it at all from the front.  You have to do square corners on the back though, because if you try to turn mitered corners all the way back, you'll end up with a giant lump of material at the corner.
I don't know what the woman is planning on doing with this piece, but it would look stunning on the wall.  When mom gave her the piece back, she loved the way that I did binding and wants me to do all of her bindings now!  Sweet!

| There were a variety of different fabrics in this piece, not just your standard cottons, and it added some wonderful texture. |
