Now is the binding, which I'm pretty scared of. Never done it before so I'm sure I'll mess up, but even if I do, I will have finished my first quilt! If I wasn't so tired I'd do a happy dance!

I don't know why so many people are afraid of binding their quilts. I love reaching the binding stage because it means I'm almost finished another quilt.
Don't let it scare you. Remember it's only a strip of fabric a couple of inches wide. You go for it girl and Happy Quilting.
