Wow, thanks for all the positive comments. I worked on it for six or so hours today and I'm pooped. While I was hoping to get them done today, I decided since I've never done binding before, I don't want to rush through it so I'm taking a break. Tomorrow is another day. Besides, I do have some machine embroidery hanging that I need to work on.
. I so appreciate the feedback and I will be sure to post the final pics. Overall, I love the progress.
