I already had the strip sewn around this block but not backed and have another the same way. I think it is going to be easier to add pellon and then the edging...I cut enough backing last night for all the blocks I want to do but decided I would go to fabric store today to get material to make the bias binding... Like I really need more material... But the bias really looks and works up better. I will limit the colors though...maybe just black and green.
This is one piece that I really did a LOT of seams... and buttons, buttons everywhere! Sometimes it is fun to go back and look at an older block and see things in a different light. As I rule I wouldn't scatter buttons everywhere like I did here but I like it.

Gerry,
Thanks for sharing this idea of finishing off blocks! I really like it and plan to use it as soon as I get my goodies near me! Beautiful block!
What an inspiring idea. I will definitely use this method to finish the block I am currently working on! Joan
Gerry this looks so lovely. The block is really pretty and displaying it like that does it justice. I have to get out my old blocks and finish them. I'm on the right track tho': already finished 2 UFOs this year.
I love this way of mounting the blocks! There are only so many wall hangings that one can use and this is a great way to display the blocks and so easy to change them out with the seasons! Looking forward to trying it out!
Very late comment Gerry, but this is REALLY encrusted! Beautiful.
