Sorry for shouting on the subject line. But I "found" this book a couple of years ago and just "love" it. It is called "A Fine Finish - New Bindings for Award-Winning Quilts" by Cody Mazuran.

(here is alink to the front cover of the book)Once you read this book, you will never have another question aboutbindings. Such wonderful innovative ideas from the traditional to thecontemporary. It has the easiest method of cutting bias strips (even fromFQ's). She even says that unless you need to do curves...don't waste yourtime on bias strips (I love this woman). I borrowed this book from ourlocal guild and had to run out and buy my own copy. Cody explains that when it comes to binding, most people just slap on any old thing. She believes that the binding deserves as much thought and planning as the rest of the quilt. I haven't been quilting very long, but long enough to know that she was on to something good. NAYY.
