I love ironing the fabric and cutting the fabric - I know I'm probably the only one. I love piecing the top so much. I send my quilts to the LAer. I don't bind my quilts anymore - I found someone who does an excellent job machine binding them with fancy stitches for very little money! I have the hardest time with binding - I would rip it out three or four times because it would be wrong and finally decided it wasn't my thing. Thank God I realized it was okay not to bind my quilts. No quilt police in my town!!
