I found a very cute baby quilt on line which was asymetrical. I liked the look and decided to try one of my own since all the others I have made have been symetrical. It was fun to design and more interesting to sew and quilt. I also bound the edges with binding instead of using the sandwich style. I had been resisting this until I found a tutorial online which demonstrated making a binding by using a facing. It was very simple to do and I love the look of it. Now I enjoy all the steps required to make a small quilt. I will use this method on all future quilts. The tutorial for the facing binding is: http://barnyardchatter.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/facings-an-alternative-to-traditional-bindings/.
