Finally got my first quilt bound! Why dis that take me so long!?

I showed this as a quilt top about 6 months ago. It was my very first one, so I was anxious to show it to you all. Then I sent it to the quilter, leaving only the binding to do. Well, I folded it in such a way that the edges didn't show and put it on the end of my bed- even covered up with it a time or two, with the raw edges hanging out. Why would I do that? Because I had moved onto other projects- since then I have made about 5 quilts! All of them are finished and on to their intended recipient, but my own sat unfinished- I just couldn't seem to get it done. Oh well, it's done now and I'm pretty proud of it. It's just a simple framed 9 patch from www.about.com

Oh its very nice. Love the colors you used. For whatever reason I find sewing the binding and putting on the label hard. I just dont want to do it even though it makes the quilt 'FINISHED'. Your quilt is just stunning.

Your quilt is lovely. I'm with you on finishing. I don't mind doing the binding, it's just getting started. I have several projects here, just waiting for that last little bit of finishing. Including the baby quilt for my new grand son who is due in about 3 weeks!

You did a great job and now it's done. I think that we put everyone else quilt ahead of ours, even starting more. I've been quilting about 8 years, but haven't got MY quilt done as far as quilting, I've had the blocks done for 2-3 years though. But, I have decided that after I finish quilting this one quilt that I'm donating to a horse rescue, that I'm going to finish MY quilt. I don't mind doing the binding, it's the quilting that I'm leary of.
