    Thank everyone! Though the binding was frustrating and has me rethinking doing binding again, I am proud of it. Already planning my 3rd and 4th quilt...2nd quilt is planned, just have to buy the fabric.

    you did such a great job! you are brave to put Minkee on the back for your first quilt... it can be tricky. perhaps, if it was just cotton on the back, the binding would have fit better. i'm sure that quilt will be very loved.

    Thanks! I hope to mail the quilt tomorrow! Can't wait to see what she thinks of it.

    As for the fabric, while looking at patterns I found It's A Hoot for Moda...loved it! So I went to my LQS hoping they had that line, they did! The brown is Robert Kauffamn though and the green is from JoAnn's...the binding is more felty (another mistake I think now) and is from JoAnn's also.

    My Minkee baby quilt was tricky, too.. but I "googled" for binding tutorials and watched those.. now my bindings are perfect! I was so happy that I actually cut the first binding off a little quilt and redid it, and it's really pretty now.. Those tutorials are great!!

    Yes, I agree with you that it turned out just fine for a first quilt. You'll find yourself getting better with each one.
