Beginning binding
 

I am to my favorite part of making a quilt ~~~ the hand binding, which mean I am coming to the end of my project. This time I did not bury my thread tales first, so I worked on binding for awhile, then buried tails and then returned to binding... Working good ... Still have a long way to go as this is a 79" X 69" quilt. Will post photos when completed. I also designed the label so will ink it before binding is complete.

Hope everyone had a good quilting weekend also :)

Congrats! Can't wait to see the photos!

Waiting to see the finished quilt.

can't wait to see pictures either. Binding the quilt is also one of my favorite parts. I have one ready to be bound, too. Will do that this weekend.

I use to be good at binding able to do 5 feet in an hour. But now it is difficult with my hands not able to hold the needle like in the olden days.

Ah, every time a work on a quilt I think of those "olden" days and what I'd give to have them back, especially for any type of hand work. Miss those days for sure.

Anxious to see finish!

Anxious to finish.... Inked the label today and just have the corner with label to bind and appliqué the label down.
Will post photo on Photo section...tomorrow ? Hope to

I also love to do the binding. It is the last time I will spend with the quilt before it is given away. It is a time for slowing down and enjoying the finishing process, much like a good book, I don't want to put it down.

Yes, it does mean that you are almost DONE. Great feeling, isn't it?
