Have you thought of machine sewing your binding - shh do not tell the quilt police that I said that - but it is so much quicker.
I have thought about it but when I mentioned it to my quilting instructor I got her "daggers of death" look LOL She and I are actually really good friends so we laughed about it. I did try to machine sew on the binding on a table runner - I definitely need to practice more with that!

This binding is actually the best one I've ever sewn - I used the method from a thread on the board here of not ironing it in half before I sewed it onto the quilt. I have to say that I will use this method from now on - my binding has never been so straight and consistent before.
