Renee ~ Great job. Welcome to the wonderful world of quilting. Don't let binding scare you. I'm one of those wierd-os who loves to bind. Mitered corners are no big deal if you get yuorself s good book and take it step by step. My favorite resource is "Rotary Magic" by Johnson-Srebro. It's my "bible" when it comes to basic quilting. Hope this helps.
