    Using a walking foot should eliminate that problem. On kids quilts, I bag them, leave 3" opening, turn right side out, press well, pin and with my walking foot, quilt. No need for binding this way. Just sew opening closed.

    SharonAnne,

    I'm impressed. You always talk about being a newbie, your work looks much better than someone new to quilting. Good job.

    Wow! You are doing a wonderful job for a new quilter--I'd never guess you'd only done one before!!

    That is funny about your dgs and ol' Abe. I had a fascination with Abraham Lincoln when I was about that age, too. I had two books in particular about him that I loved and I wish I could remember what the title were! I may do some hunting on Amazon later--I know I'd recognize the cover art, if it's the same. If I find out anything, I'll PM you!

    Both are beautiful! The book idea is fantastic ... I've made the books before, but this is a wonderful idea! The Abe Lincoln quilt is perfect as is!
