    Thanks for the comments. I love to paper piece and longarm, so hand piecing/quilting is definitely out of my "comfort zone." But I had a blast doing it, so I'm sure I'll be hunting out more projects that I can hand piece....can only get better with practice :)

    If you do binding on this be sure to cut the binding on the bias. The bias will go around the piece easier. Do a binding as narrow as you are comfortable with.

    Looks good to me. I don't like doing anything by hand because I'm too impatient, but I love to see the hand-quilted pieces. They are so much a "labor of love."

    I have never binded these shapes...it really does look ok the way it is , beautiful quilting stitches! Maybe some other kind of edging would work? like a thin ropy edging or ribbon or beads?

    Can you discreetly whip the edges together without binding? I think the binding would distract from the simplicity.
