If you don't like doing the binding, you shouldn't have done such a good job. Now she'll have you doing them all!!!!

What a wonderful quilt for a baby to grow with. I agree that the binding looks fine (and is hard to do with a machine). The only suggestion I'd make is to hand-sew the corners of the binding down with an invisible stitch. If a baby or washing machine starts pulling at those corners, it will be hard to get the miter back.

You did well. You can use a stiletto to help you manipulate the fabric as it goes under the presser foot. Great quilt and I love stripes for binding.

You did a great job on the binding. I have 3 very large tree skirts that need binding; so after hand sewing the binding to the back of two large wall hangings, I've decided that I'm going to put the bindings on by machine, hey, the tree skirts will be covered up by presents anyway, right?
