I hate doing the binding, too, but what I dislike most is not putting the strips together but sewing the front to back by hand. An alternative might be to sew to the back and then turn to front and stitch by machine, perhaps with a decorative stitch and contrasting thread. That might make it more interesting for you!

Your quilt looks great, and having a multi color binding will be very nice on it, I've done that to several of mine - planned it that way from the beginning. Thanks for sharing!

The binding is one of my favorite parts too. There's just something about finishing up that part myself that makes me feel like I've accomplished a lot. Also, when doing the hand-stitching I can sit back and prop my feet up in the recliner.

When Karen McTavish lived next to me I used to do all her bindings so if you just can't do it and want to send it out I can do it. But take your time it isn't that hard of a job and you will learn how to do it and be happy that you learned something new.

why don't you like doing the binding. perhaps if you knew then you can "fix" it and make the process more enjoyable.
For instance, is it the hand work? the corners? whatever?

I like binding too. It means I have no guilt when I go on to the next project.

Gorgeous quilt ... To me, the binding is like the icing on the cake! I like to machine sew it, then turn and hand-sew ... love the feel of accomplishment as I'm finishing those last few hand stitches!

I LOVE to bind! I usually take home 2-3 philanthropy quilts a month from my guild to put some binding on. I'll search out that perfect fabric and pay whatever it takes to frame each masterpiece. It's the last chance to enhance its personality.
I've developed 9 different ways to create binding, some of which use two fabrics. It was suggested by some that I write a book. Yeah....no. Three of my methods I have since seen elsewhere in quilt books, so I guess I can't claim originality... Great minds think alike! HA!
