Love the quilt, was the binding exhausting?

Call me strange but I enjoyed doing the binding. The peaks, were typical mitered corners and the valleys were done by stretching the valley as straight as possible and sewing the binding in a straight line.

My shoulders didn't get tired because every 9 inches or so a new challenge came up! But there is almost 40' of binding!!!

The roses were a big surprise. We had already spent so much on the renos this fall, we promised each other that gifts for birthdays and Christmas were all around us. So it was a very big surprise and touching gesture on his part!!

Happy Birthday for Friday!

And Barnbum? It didn't hurt a bit! I figure being 50, already retired for 6 months and getting to spend every morning in my lounge clothes is a great reward!

That is a gorgeous quilt! And Happy Birthday! I loved turning 50 for some reason - maybe because some things just didn't seem so darned important any more.
