Adnil458 they are all great and beautiful! My favorite is the WVU stars :lol:
I got great advice about the binding from oksewglad, but just one more question: how do you close the binding? You cant keep tails of 25 inches like on a big quilt?

Have you posted any of yours? Would love to see :D. My total is now 6 and just came up with several designs for more.

OKSewGlad ... do you have minis on the Alzheimers site? Please do lead us to them. Thanks!!!!!

Besides the board, I spend time looking at all AAQIs wonderful quilts http://www.alzquilts.org/loatallqu.html

Before sewing , I first press under the binding end that I start with at a diagonal rather than the 1/2" straight tuck as you do. Then sew the binding down starting with that triangulated end. When I come to the end I overlap to just past the triangulated end. These bindings I handstitch in place.
