Okay - done and completely done. Including the DREADED binding. I machine bind and really like this little stitch on my new machine. NOTE: I did almost everything I did on this quilt on other quilts on my small BIG BOX store machine - a Brother 9000. It had to be forced through the thickness of corners and seams by pulling the fabric through, but it was able to do what I did here. With this machine (Janome 6600) it is much easier, but it is still possible with smaller machines.
The quilt is in the washer now - wish me luck! I still am never sure they're going to come out alive- and this is quilt #85 and they all survived - so far.
