It sat on my ironing board for 3 months... yes 3 months. A friend set me free when she said, " if you can't see the points don't exactly match when you are riding by on a galloping horse... don't worry about it!" Saved my bacon..and I've been quilting every since... that was in 1985. So now I pass that advise on to you... it looks great...and your daughter will love it because Mom made it just for her. Good job. :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

I love it!!!!!! Thanks
:!: That's great advice - that's kind of how I went about the binding. I just attacked it. ;)
