bindings need love too.....tell them how pretty they are as you cut them (2 1/2 inches).....smooth them as you press them......talk to them sweetly as you sew ............. and remember to admire them as you view the finished quilt for the first time..... it is not a quilt untill it is bound...and then it can be loved (without the stuffing,batting getting all over) ok, need more coffee
