That is one awesome quilt! What's the secret to not hand-sewing the binding? I see triangles on the backing...that is for hanging? How do you do that?
I'm getting ready to bind a quilt and put a hanger on, so that's why I'm asking. :D
Beautiful work!

Then I folded the binding to the back & glued it with Fabri-Tac (WOW is that strong stuff). Then sewed from the front with a decorative stitch.

What stitch did you use on the front binding? My thumb has what your thumb has.
