I finished hand quilting my quilt, and have the binding left to do. I am so happy!!!!! This is my first quilt, and I really really didn't want to have tons of quilt tops that I never finished, so I made myself not start something new, and continue working on my quilt. Now is the binding, which I'm pretty scared of. Never done it before so I'm sure I'll mess up, but even if I do, I will have finished my first quilt! If I wasn't so tired I'd do a happy dance!

Congratulations. I hope to see pics. It is a good feeling of accomplishment to finish that first quilt. Thank you for sharing.

Binding is one of my favorite parts because it means I'm almost finished and can start another one. Please post a pic when you're finished.

Congratulations! It is a wonderful feeling isn't it? Anxious to see a pic. DO not be afraid of binding. You have done all of this work, now you can do the binding. Proud for you.

Binding is easy compared to what you have done, so don't be afraid. If you like hand quilting, you will probably like sewing down the binding, I do. Can't wait to see pictures!!

Take a deep breath. If you can make a quilt, you can certainly conquer the binding!
Looking forward to seeing your quilt!

Watch the youtube video's they help me a lot on the binding, especially the corners, they are starting to get eaiser all the time.
