My friend was thrilled! She visited and I had it finished. The friend she was staying with is a graphic designer/painter and brought me quilt books she did the graphic illustrations for. So there was joy abound. The books are: Enchanted Views: quilts inspired by wrought iron designs, 250 continuous line quilting designs, Ruth B McDowell: When Quilters Gather (20 patterns of pieces at play).

I have always stretched my binding (a little or a lot) as it is being applied and have never had a wavy edge on a quilt.
