Pretty quilt! Birth it and tie :D:D:D

Beautiful, I would do a large meander, FMQ, large stipple,not sure the proper term, and find a contrasting fabric for the binding. That sounds the most comfortable to me. Just my opinion.

I also vote for birthing it due to the lack of extra fabric for the binding.
Ditto!!! Don't tie it!

Nice quilt!

And mine.

For babies, I always birth the quilt. Sewing again 1/2" around edges after turning. A very stable quilt that will go through years of washing.

Okay I am number25 so the quilt is probably completed by now. Would like to see it.

This is what I would do too. It would make it fluffy and cozy. Lovely quilt. :thumbup:

It's putting the right sides together and stitching almost all the way around. Then with the little space that is left, at least 6 inches I'm told you reach in and flip it right side out and sew the opening closed.

But I think the general consensus is to birth it and tie it, but I might SID because of the little knots and fingers getting stuck in it. Didn't think of that, thanks!!

Quilt and bind. Fleece stretches and tying can cause it to sag....
