loise98 OFFLINE Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 267	No body has responded about going to Loch Loman in May. I am thinking about it. I was wondering what Maureen would say about how early it is necessary to make accomodations. Did I miss her answer. Just want to know how long I have to procrastinate making a decision.

[/quote} According to Izzy he is a creamy custard colour (she doesn't remember when Birds custard was bright yellow) and she liked the name/word - when it comes to children naming their pets it is usually not really worth arguing Besides do adults do any better? - like chickens called Dumpling....

Because I am nearing the time allowed for me to finish my segment of the CWQ Challenge I reviewed the rules and its a good thing I did. I was considering using a facing to finish the edge and the rules say it must be bound. I am assuming a facing would not be a binding, it would be a facing. Am I right in that assumption? I am not there yet but I must be planning differently than my original intention if facings are not considered bindings.

Lois, I thought it would be ok as facing do cover the edges but to make sure I have just been in touch with the LLQS and Ruth says that facings are fine they just didn't want raw edges as that would not look very nice on hung quilts. I hope that helps

I have heard of raw edge applique, but not of raw edge hangings

I guess there will be some in the 'slash & burn' camp that think it is a cool, trendy and rebel thing to do. But for me, raw edges around the quilt sounds unfinished and a CBA (Can't Be Arsed) attitude

Thanks for asking the question, Lois, and thanks for checking, Maureen, I had also assumed that facing was out. I had hoped to try out that new technique on this smaller project.
