Impressive!

See, that wasn't as hard as you thought! The binding isn't either. Just take your time and don't try for perfection. It's a quilt, not the MonaLisa after all!! :thumbup: :D

seriously, Kitsie's tutorial is great for someone who s unsure...I used to use heather bailey's tutorial but the finishing with Kitsie's makes more sense and is no fail!

There is also another tute on here that shows you how to use the ladder stitchto attach the binding to the back of your quilt...i'll check for links. I just finished my latest project last night and stitching the binding to the back went so much faster and looks smoother with the ladder stitch technique...

this is heather bailey's binding tute for more visual....Kitsie's ending instructions are much clearer and fool-proof!!

Nice, I have yet to accomplish one. I can miter my binding now, but it did take me a while.

Great job! That is one thing I haven't tried yet and I hope my first attempt comes out as nicely as yours!

I remember my first successful miter too! It makes you want to do a happy dance and tell everyone you know. Good job.
