You did a fabulous job!! I'm sorry I don't really have an answer for you though. For me it depends........
I never seem to work on one straight through as I get tired of doing the same thing but I always have one to pick up to work on.
I'm sure you're glad it's done!! :)

It's avery pretty quilt. Beautiful prints and colors with excellent quilting. Lucky daughter!

Oh my!! I see your tiny perfect stitches. How wonderful a job you've done.And it looks like you've done a super job quilting it too. I'd say you were finished. Your batting should tell you the proper distance required for it. And, the standard rule with the old cotton batting is 2 inches. But, with the newer batting you can get away with a lot lot less. Bind it and forget it.
