Turn and Pin Binding (again!)

I think this next step is fun because you can really see things beginning to come together, especially the mitered corners.

Folding the binding around to the other side of the blanket edge as shown above. The binding should fold around right to the seam you made on the opposite side.

Pin your binding every 2-inches along the length of the blanket edge. Make sure the pin heads point away from the edge or else you will get stuck later.

When you get to the corner, pin it to the seam line and lay the next side flat. It will make a 45 degree angle as shown above.

Fold the side with the 45 degree angle so that it meets the top strip and creates a neat 90 degree angle. If you do this correctly the other side will "miter" like this as well. Doesn't it look so professional!

Continue around the entire blanket.
