I think the part that you may be dreading is tugging that quilt around to put the binding on it with your sewing machine. I always put my bindings on while the quilt is still on the longarm --- after all, a longarm is just a big sewing machine, right? :D That enables me to get the corners just the way I want them. Then I can sit in front of the TV and do the hand stitching, and I LOVE that part! :-)
