    I'm with you, find it so relaxing. Also it's a good feeling knowing you have a quilt done!!!

    Binding day is movie day for me. I line up several movies, or a TV series marathon, pick a nice corner on the couch, set up the side table with supplies, and blissfully bind away the day ;-)

    I'm sure some quilting guild/group out there would love your help with binding.

    Quite a few of our members - from each of my quilting guilds/groups - have decided to do primarily binding for our charity quilts.

    One person makes the top, another helps cut the backing and batting and gets the material put together for the binding - another quilts - another does the binding - then still yet another may put on the label.

    We each do what we are good at and enjoy doing. We also continues to make our own quilts.

    I love hand-sewing binding. My neighbor hates it. We have a great system going where he'll machine-sew the binding onto his quilts and then pass them along to me for the hand-sewing. And then he pays me!!

    I think you are doing a wonderful job. I also love binding. Partly because it means the quilt is finally finished, but also because I feel I do a good job and that makes it satisfying.

    Looks great and nice metered corners too. You should take up appliqué.

    I too, like to put on bindings, sometimes one of my friends and I trade out. She has a long arm and quilts my quilts, I put on her bindings.
