The colors are so bright and cheerful. Perhaps there is a tutorial on binding here on the board. I know I cut 2.5 inch strips and fold them in half lengthwise. Then I sew the raw edge to the raw edge of the quilt and wrap the binding around to the other side. Hand or machine stitch it down. Is the binding on this one double? I can't see it well enough, but it looks like a single layer and not finished on the edge. It will just fray like crazy if that is the case. Your first effort for a quilt is amazing. There is a bunch of good advice here.
