That is too preciously funny!! I have a visual of your hubby coming around the corner, spying the great binding and then smiling as he takes it right over to his work spot and pulling the shears out and smiling as he did it!

What is "bedfast"? I am unfamiliar with that term. Is it the same as bedridden?

Yes. It is the same as bedridden. Perhaps I didn't choose my words as well as I should have. My MIL is confined to the bed so someone has to be with her at all times. She will be 93 in April and has had a stroke.

That is just too funny for words.

Ditto to what everyone else said, but now it's up to the DH to find and buy you exactly the right binding fabric for that quilt!

Too funny but at least it is something to recall and retell.

Great! Thanks for sharing (with US). Maybe a contrasting binding will be just what's needed.:cool:

I ironed it and laid it on the arm of the couch beside the quilt and left to go to church Sunday morning. when I got home, my binding was gone. I have to explain that my DH and I are caregivers for his mother, who is best fast. And, he was home with her alone!! And, I also have to explain that my DH is a quilter of sorts who only uses 2&1/2 inch blocks in his quilts. Well, you guessed it. My DH had "found" my binding and cut it into 2 & 1/2 inch blocks!! What do you think about that? I wanted to scream!!! then I had to laugh!!

ohhh....
man, I guess I am glad my dh doesn't want to quilt, lol! :shock: :)
