JanRN ... just saw this thread about machine binding
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...-t211839.htmla
and of course thought of you! Perhaps some tips will show up there, that will help you. What about putting a flange of colour (see Tartan's post)? Could give a nice zip of colour out at the edge with the binding.
Anael ... glad that DS/DDIL were able to talk a little more with the neonatologist and learn a little more. Every day is a big accomplishment for these wee ones! Are things still looking as though your DDIL will be released tomorrow? Will she come home? or stay near the hospital? Here, most of the big hospitals have a Roncald McDonald house (as in McDs hamburgers!) where parents can stay. One preemie Mom friend did so. It gave her so much more time with the baby. Even if there was nothing she could "do", the satisfaction of being there and being able to talk with the Drs/Nurses and know more first hand. I still tear up when I start to think of their story.
