Recently watched this facing technique on back of Grandmother's Garden - hand pieced. The back inside was a straight seam. The entire facing was the width of one half of the hexagon; corners were faced with an entire hexagon; was quite beautiful!
Hey Nancy it's beautiful and I think I like this way more than the binding and it will also takes less time, it's also gives you the chance to show your design skills
Too Funny....just saw a quilt at a quilt show this weekend. Facing was use and I was wondering what the technique was. I had never seen it before. Thanks for the info...it was perfect timing, LOL!
Thank you! I am about to make my first ever quilt and I know I can never follow in the traditional way of making a quilt to the end. I have to many ideas in my head and nothing to stop me from experimenting!
Hi Donna, generally quilts with facings are smaller, art quilts but it could be done on a big quilt. Instead of one large piece of fabric you would use strips of fabrics. I'll try to do a video on it :)
Hi Carol - it generally is used on more art quilt type but i can think of no reason why it's couldn't be on a bed quilt - I could think that after you have stitched it to the back, if you do a line of top stitching through all the layers a 1/4-1/2" in from the edge it would be as strong as any binding :)
Hi Elizabeth - it all depends for me personally. If it for me I often times will just poke a pin through the quilt into the drywall - probably not the most professional thing but it works for small wall hanging. if it will be shown i do always put a sleeve on it. you can make them a little smaller, it just depends on what you plan to put through the sleeve.

Great video. As usual, your explanation is the clearest one I've found.
Wow, thanks!
Amazing! You are so talented .I Love your teaching videos. Forever great full for sharing your talents. Thank you Nancy:}
I never thought of putting a facing on a quilt! This opens a whole new dimension in quilt-making! Great!
I use Fiskars pinking shears and I love them! I also use the pinking blade in my Olfa rotary cutter and that works well, too.

This is an eyeopener! Thank you for this information. Best tutorial I've seen from you thus far.
You just showed me how I will finish one of my current quilts in progress. It is a bed sized quilt so I will use strips. Thank you!
I am putting a fleece facing on 2 quilts for my grandsons. Love your work.

Wow! Eager to try this method.
Hope you enjoy
What a awesome idea. Thanks for the tutorial.
Awesome, Thanks it is great
I love everything you do, but I'm not especially fond of that wide facing. I may try it with a more narrow facing. Thanks!!
Fantastic 😘
So you do a big quilt like that or squares and put them together? If you made a big one seems like a waste of fabric. Thanks for doing the video.

I used a facing on a quilt but Didn't nk ow what it was used for'called , Thanks for your. Video
Is this okay to use on a quilt that going to be used and washed, or mainly for art quilts? Love it, very nice technique.

If you are making a wall hanging, how would you add a sleeve to hang it?? Or is there another way to hang it?
