Sewing on the binding is the part of making a quilt that I most enjoy. Maybe it is the fact that the quilt is nearing completion that makes that step so exciting for me. Actually, I think it is that I so enjoy doing the hand sewing. I can sit in my recliner, watch TV and sew away. Incidentally, cutting, seaming, and pressing the binding fabric is the first thing I do when starting a quilt.
