"Piping Hot", or is that "Red Hot Piping"?

Another adventure in techniques on this miniature of the "Focused on the Lover of  Red" quilt. Seems the small projects are the ones most easily side-lined, for me. Maybe because I think I will be able to knock them out in "no time". This one's delay, though, was because the piped binding seemed daunting. It really was not hard at all when I followed the tutorial found here; frequent breaks to view and review were needed. Remembering what I've seen all the way from the computer to the machine can be a bit of a challenge some days. (!)  Everything, including having the corners meet, worked just like when doing a regular binding.
Sewing binding to back of quilt.

Resorted to gluing and ironing the fold-over before stitching in place.

The quilt measures 15 & 7/8's x 14 & 1/2 inches.

 So,  is that hot, or what?
