The binding is my favorite part of making a quilt. I usually cut and sew together the binding strips before I finish making the quilt top. The binding is in a roll, ready to be applied once I have finished quilting. Maybe I enjoy applying the binding so much because the quilt will be completed when I have the binding finished. I really think I enjoy binding so much because I hand sew it to the back side. I love hand sewing! Except for hand sewing on the label, the remainder of my quilt is machine sewn.
