I finally finished binding my quilt, it's about 75 x 90 I think. Made the hanging sleeve to go with it from the same material as the backing, but won't put it on until I decide if I want to enter it in the show or not....give my fingers a rest.
The problem wasn't with muscle cramps in my hands, it was pokeing the needle through the binding fabric...it was a piece from my stash and even though I washed it first it was stiffer than what I expected it to be. Changed needles and used more of a downward over my thumb stitch and that seemed to help. God forbid that I ever have to remove the binding for anything., it's on to stay!
