Piping a cushion

Hi, I have just followed Jennie Rayment's video on piping for a cushion, and am delighted with the result.  It is something I have avoided all my life (I am 64!) and now I cannot for the life of me understand why I was so afraid of it.
The piping I have done is, in fact, for the edging of the P&Q magazine project "Hand Quilting for All", which simply tells you to buy piping cord and insert into the bias strips (which I had just cut following the instructions).  I bought 5mm cord hoping that was right. I now cannot wait to try it out on a cushion.

Here is the lovely quilt as made by Carole, who was the lucky winner;   and here is what she had to say: It was great to have all the instructions written out for me in a logical order.  I made plenty of mistakes but what a great learning experience it was. Thank you once again Of course we can't see the mistakes - so well done Carole, it looks lovely.
