    Default my birthday present from two years ago...finally done

    This quilt, my mom gave to me for my birthday almost two years ago...lol. She gave it to me and it just needed binding. I couldn't find a good fabric to use for the binding so I just kept putting it off to the side and I'd do other quilts and look at this one and think about how pretty it is and put it back. Lol...if you don't know already....I really dislike doing bindings. I don't know why, but they are the part of quilting that I just don't enjoy at all. I finally found a fabric that I thought was suitable for the binding and finished it last night. I will be using the quilt tonight.

    What a wonderful B-Day present from your Mom. The binding matches perfectly I think. You both done a great job on it. It will be a blessing to you to snuggle up with every night.

    nice! and about your 'dislike bindings' issue....maybe if you think of the binding as....Yea! the final step & it's done. the binding is my favorite part of any quilt- because I know with that final stitch the quilt is completed & I can move on to the next on going project knowing I've completed another one. often it's just a 'frame of mind' that keeps us from finishing something- or moving forward- look at it differently & it's not such chore. your quilt is lovely- nice that you finally decided to get it done.
