Nice quilt!

What I need opinions on is whether to tie it or quilt it, bind it or birth it. I don't have any of the material in the quilt left, so the binding would be different.

I'm not touching it until I get 10, so I'll work on something else until then. Thank you!

Ok. This one is a new one. What is "birth" in a quilt term? I do not think I would tie a baby quilt. I would think the need for washing a baby quilt, would cause it to wear easily and quilting would hold up better. Thanks,

Nice quilt!

I agree, birthing it and then quilting will solve the lack of fabric problem and then quilting will give the additional stability a baby quilt needs with all of the laundering it will get. Very pretty.
