I also vote for birthing it due to the lack of extra fabric for the binding.

Nice quilt!

For babies, I always birth the quilt. Sewing again 1/2" around edges after turning. A very stable quilt that will go through years of washing.
Okay I am number25 so the quilt is probably completed by now. Would like to see it.

Thanks
Thanks
But I think the general consensus is to birth it and tie it, but I might SID because of the little knots and fingers getting stuck in it. Didn't think of that, thanks!!
