I am just about finished on my husbands quilt I was all excited about doing this for his..he said Carolyn I want a binding....Arugh...I should have never told him and just did it. Oh will...I will do it in my next one that I am making which is the core quilt. I think it is going to be my worst quilt ever....its hard to line up the seams...I have never sewn curves before. Its a challenge...My seam ripper is handy. I gave up though when I sewed the long strips together.
