    The more bindings you do, the better you will get (just like anything...). Great I Spy quilt! What size are your squares? I make I Spy kits too, with 5" squares.

    binding looks great, I usually do mine by hand, but if mine turned out looking that good, I'd do them by machine too.

    What a precious quilt. You finished it off with great binding & I know your wife will thank you over & over again for helping her with this quilt. It will be loved by a little one.

    Great quilt. Binding by machine is tricky but oh, so worth it in time.

    I think you did a wonderful job. Perfect binding comes with practice, practice, practice... Often I quilt very late at night and being tired and maybe without the best lighting, I worry that my stitch lines will not be absolutely straight. The solution is to use a decorative stitch. My favorite is a slight wavy line that has a tiny leaf every third wave. Always looks perfect (no ones knows).

    It looks great. Stripes are fun for binding.

    Your binding looks fine. As an extra help, glue & press the binding in place before stitching. That has really helped my bindings. Have 2 ready for stitching now.
