Nice quilt I'm sure the graduate will love it. I use a similar trick for binding my quilts except I use a large spool from thread that I wind my binding on and then put a long piece of jute or twine and hang it around my neck same procedure otherwise as you.

That's a good idea--could make it a bit longer that way!

Yes, that's where he plans to go--may take a detour via Jr. College first!

Yes--those are a few of mine. My kids gave me that lovely display case for Christmas a couple of years ago. I love it.

I use the TT roll, but I hadn't thought about making a hanger to put around my neck though. I've got to try this! Beautiful quilt you did, the grad's going to love it!
