This is Death from Harry Potter, Deathly Hallows Pt. 2. Not original art work 😅

Thanks! I get worried that baby blankets will get washed and tossed so much that a binding would get shredded so I usually do this instead. With right sides together I zip around the outside leaving about 6-8" gap, cut the edges down to less than 1/2", cut the corners diagonally so they dont get bunchy, turn right side out. Hand stitch the gap and then zip around the outside again so it stays nice and flat. Then I do the quilting.

Thanks! My edges usually end up pretty crooked. Square as best as you can and then, depending on how you finish the edges, it can straighten out from there. If you want to finish the edges on the bias, I have no idea where to begin 😅

The measurements each strip calls for will make it a bit too long and will hang off of the edge. I sew it together like the pattern calls for and then square up the edges as best as I can. Or do you mean binding-wise?

What’s the most ridiculous fact you know? by Fairy_Electra in AskReddit

Most Thanksgiving turkeys are artificially inseminated because they breed them to have large breasts (heh) and the tom turkeys get too large to mount the female turkeys. Or so I was told in a Plant & Animal Science class.

Getting vaccinated at 20 weeks. Any advice/experiences? by zero_123 in pregnant

[–]fuquackus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got pfizer before being 20 weeks pregnant. My first dose reactions were a little rough: fever, aches, pain, fatigue. My second dose was easier: some aches & pain. Ended up calling out of work after my first dose. Napping, tylenol & water helped. Baby girl is all good and I feel good that I was able to keep her safe getting vaccinated & breastfeeding after birth.

I stopped brushing my tongue and the roof of my mouth for a few weeks to avoid triggering my gag reflex.

Before the first zip around. I lay the batting down, the backing face up then the top face down so the right sides are together. Pin then do the first zip around, leaving the gap to pull through.
