I pay someone to do my binding. YES I do!!!! The owner of my quilt shop did the binding on my last quilt. I hate binding. And I just recently found out about squaring up your quilt. Never knew it before! Oops!!! And I just started squaring up all my pieces before adding them to my other pieces. Now I'm actually squaring up my blocks. I've not been doing this for years and years. And I don't wear safety gloves until I slice my fingers and then I wear them for a few days only. And not all of my blocks are 12 1/2". I have to steam the h*ll out of them to stretch them to fit. And I have a project in every corner of my sewing room right now and I haven't sewn in 2 weeks. But I keep ordering online. I keep the packages coming.
