If I have more than one project going.......

(that's a big IF, I always have multi).....at one time,

I save them for movie time..it's a relaxing time and no jumping up and down.

That's after I get the machine sewing done to the front......after that it can sit and wait for me. It's especially nice in the winter, keeps me warm along with getting the job done.

I hate binding!!! I told my friend that I would pay her a penny for doing a foot of binding and she will not take me up on it. This had gotten to be our joke and no one else seems to figure it out (non quilters)

I love binding the quilt. It means it's close to being done. And then I want to prolong it so I sew slowly.

I like hand binding the back too. I usually do it in the evening while watching TV.

Every part of a quilt has it's challenges. I find keeping the puckers out of any quilting is my main worry. The binding is easy after that.

I do a lot of small personal sized quilts and most of them are just sewn around the edge and turned inside out.

But I sort of like the binding. It's a sign that a project is done! Well, maybe not LIKE doing it, but happy to do it.
