nice flowers! Don't suppose you have enough backing to wrap to the front & bind or how about a fancy machine stitch on the back to attach the binding - might lessen the 'cheating the recipient' guilt.

Glad it's you & not me - I had little ambition to bind a simple placemat the other day!

Alas....no backing to fold over. I haven't tried that technique yet.

I will admit, the first couple quilts I did I took scissors and just cut around the quilt top to trim off the batting. I have since done it with a ruler and a rotary cutter, and I just LOVE the crisp clean look of a freshly rotary trimmed quilt after the quilting is done.

binding is my least favorite part of it. I usually wait until I have a pile of quilts to do and when I feel like it, I do them all at once.

I don't mind the binding so much. By that time I just want to see the finished quilt so badly, that I gladly get to the binding and the final step...the label.

I'm the same-don't mind doing it-I look at it as being almost finished-and then I can start on the next one! I like hand-needle work, anyway. I will sit in front of the TV to do it since it doesn't take alot of thought.

I like binding. Put in a movie and sew it down.

If your quilt is for a child or someone who really would not care how you did the binding, sewing it is a really fast way to go. If you need instruction on how to do it, look on the internet. I'm sure there are instructions; might even be on youtube. Good luck.
