That's gorgeous! Thanks for reminding me that I want to make one. I think I may pick out some fabrics later tonight.

Your quilt is awesome.
I prefer hand stitching to the back.

Nice quilt, Susy!

HAHAHAHAHA, just burst out laughing at what you said about your mind !!! :lol:

That is beautiful. I love the colors. I have the same problem when I machine finish my border.

Basically, you sew strips together, and then into a tube before using a triangle ruler to cut so that when it is cut, you have squares...not a good explanation, but if you go to Missouri Quilt Company's website, they have a video on how it's done. :)

Beautiful quilt....I LOVE IT! :)

Very beautiful and I tried machine stitching the binding on once, I hated it and had to rip out about 2-3 feet. I will go back to hand sewing it on, looks much nicer.
