I enjoy hand stitching the binding.

If I have more than one project going.......

(that's a big IF, I always have multi).....at one time,

I save them for movie time..it's a relaxing time and no jumping up and down.

I love doing the binding...it means that the quilt is completely done!

mjsylvstr: Is this after you've machine sewed the binding onto the front of the quilt? Thanks! ~Cheryl

I hate making the binding so my daughter does it for me, ain't she sweet? Then I machine bind it on.

Just about my favorite part! I can sew the binding on the front side with my machine and sit and hand stitch the back side while watching tv!

I like to hand bind. For me that is the final step in putting part of me in the quilt. Since I don't mind the hand sewing, I wonder if I might like hand quilting??? Have to lose that thought as I already have to much to do.

I don't like binding OR quilting....I love the creative part of choosing the pattern, finding JUST THE RIGHT fabrics, cutting and watching it come together as I sew. After that....I'm ready for another one.
