I honestly don't mind binding. I handstitch mine to the back using a ladder stitch while I watch tv in the evening. Using the ladder stitch is really fast. I don't use pins, I use a couple of hair clips. In the future, when my hands won't tolerate handstitching anymore, I'll make the change and go to machine binding, and I won't feel the least bit bad about it. We should all do OUR quilts the way WE want to. No guilt, no apologies. @ Kitsie: I LOVE the way you used your machine's blanket stitch on your binding. It's lovely!!
