Your quilt is so pretty! I have never minded putting the binding on a quilt, because that is the last step to getting it finished. I am not crazy about putting the border on however, especially if I am mitering the corners.

Your quilt is beautiful and quite big. But I guess I'm strange because I like to bind my quilts. This is when I can sit with DH and watch TV because its almost done and I want to get it out of my cluttered sewing room. Now on the other hand, what takes me a long time to do is the pinning or basting of the layer quilt before hand stitching, tying, or stitching in the ditch.

the quilt is lovely. i enjoy hand binding. a trick to perfect corners is to cut the tip of corner of your quilt making the corners perfect. try it once and you will see. i don't know if quilters know of this trick but now i have revealed mine :-)
