I have the same setup with my mother, she hates binding and I love to sit and do them. I refuse to machine sew a binding on a quilt, not the way I was taught and will "never be the right way for me".
Not to mention the QFK quilts I did stitch down the binding looked horrendous on the back. I was so embarrassed to send those quilts in. I cannot even bring myself to volunteer to do anymore because of the way the binding has to be put on. My charity quilts are going to other places where hand binding is accepted.
