You did a great job on piecing the bird quilt...and it is only the 4th you have ever made....be proud......but, I personally would do a bit more quilting on the sky area and also in the last border.....I'm afraid if you leave it that "loose" you will be sorry later........I think you mentioned you already have bound it??? If so, you can still handquilt in the body and border.....Doesn't have to be tiny handquilting stitches.....what is called primitive quilting (larger stitches) is very popular and would look really cute on that quilt. You could do a very large meandor in the sky area....and maybe channeling on the border.....just a thought.....

Which binding tute worked for you? Always on the look out for an easier binding.

There are two more, if you are watching the video look in the lower left part of the screen for the next one.
btw I pinned for first three sides, then decided to glue. It was wonderful!
