binding is my favorite part, because i know when it is done i have completed another project :) i still struggle with my miter's though...usually on every quilt i will have 2 or 3 perfect miters and one...really bad one...i don't know why...i keep practicing though ;)
there is a tool that i saw at a quilt show that will give you perfect miters everytime. it was really cool to watch this lady make them. will have to look for the address later when the kids are napping.
