I've been looking at that small quilt I made the other day, and thinking that it looks a bit unfinished without binding. The front is okay but I'm not happy with the back. I used the pretty fabric so I could flip it over and use that side if I wanted to, but I think it needs something else. I used the 'envelope' method of finishing this off - sewing the layers together on three sides while inside out, turning it right side out and hand stitching the fourth side. If I am going to add a binding, I'll have to unpick the whole lot - is it worth the trouble?
I was going to hand quilt it, but haven't done that yet - just as well!

What about a different kind of finish- some lace or other edging? Or add a row of prairie points and cover the raw edge with ribbon or braid.
