I have finally finished my Allietare quilt. The top has been finished since 2017; but only now it was quilted. 

It was a mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter in 2017!!! I only made about 1/2 of the blocks from her instructions. I did not want to make a large quilt from the start. 

I recently read about making single fold binding for wall hangers, placemats, and other table top quilts. The binding sits flatter and keeps stem glasses safely on the table. 

I have to say, I love it. 

The binding for this quilt was cut 1.5 inches wide; and attached the same way the double binding is attached with a 1/4 inch seam allowance and so on and so forth. 

I will use this more often on my quilts where I want the biding to be flatter and not so bulky.

I machine quilted it on a Bernina 780 using the embroidery module and a quilt design by Amelie Scott.
