Thank you! The piping makes me really happy! And it wasn't that hard. Thankfully, the lady at our local quilt shop suggested that I should tack it down with a machine basting stitch to hold the piping steady while I put on the binding. I think that really helped.

The pattern wasn't difficult. My problem was finding time to quilt! I'm so happy to have it done. Honestly, I don't do any hobbies fast. They're more fun if I don't allow myself to stress over them. But I don't allow myself to start a new project until I've finished the current one, so I guess that counts as determination. :D

But after that, I bought a walking foot, and WOW, does that make a difference! I could see myself machine quilting from time to time, too. I should try it out, anyway.

So glad you found the board and finished it. Walking feet make a world of difference when you are sewing. I keep mine on alot of the time. This quilt does not look like a first. You did awesome!!!!
