Next step for the chevron quilt

Thank you for all the lovely comments on the chevron quilt tutorials and the finished quilts. We are not done yet! I will have other scrap quilts to make with the leftovers from those four green quilt and I need to quilt and bind this blue one.  I will be doing a tutorial on how I bind my quilt.  I know if you are a long time quiltmaker, you have already perfected your method of binding, but I never know who might be reading this so I want to post all the information needed to have a completed project.  After work I got the blue chevron pin basted.

There was some extra length of back fabric so I cut that off and was able to get two strips out of it for binding.

I decided I might as well go thru the other leftover scraps and see what I could use for binding. I came up with enough pieces. I got them all cut to size - 3" wide - sewed them together, pressed them, and now my binding is ready!  I didn't think to take pictures of how to sew the binding together - geeze!  

I also wound bobbins so now I am ready to machine quilt this latest blue chevron quilt. I didn't have any blue thread that would work so I just went with white.

Here is my weekly posting on the current cross stitch project. Here is where I was on the 20th and where I am now.

I sure was cold this morning. I stopped for gas because I was just a bit below a half tank. Always good to be topped off in this kind of weather! Here is what my car said the temperature was when I pulled in the parking lot at work.  The temperature bounced around from 2 degrees to minus 11. It was cold standing and filling the car!
