The Mermaid

Part 5, the finale.

I used the trimmings from the backing to make the binding. I did have to add a short strip to make it work. 

I always accordion fold my binding. This makes it easy to store and easy to use without getting twisted like it does if it is coiled. 

Bound and hanging sleeve attached. It might be overly big as a wall hanging but that's what I intend on doing with it.
