Your quilt is beautiful and quite big. But I guess I'm strange because I like to bind my quilts. This is when I can sit with DH and watch TV because its almost done and I want to get it out of my cluttered sewing room. Now on the other hand, what takes me a long time to do is the pinning or basting of the layer quilt before hand stitching, tying, or stitching in the ditch.
