As you can see, I have trimmed the quilt and made the binding and I am now in the process of hand stitching it to the front of the quilt. I know...call me crazy but I really want to make this series of quilts for my sisters completely by hand. I marked my sewing line 1/4" from the raw edge of the binding and that should help me keep my stitching line nice and somewhat straight. :) Each stitch I take gets me closer to a finished quilt and there is such simple joy in each stitch.
I am linking up with Kathy's Quilts Slow Sunday Stitching - pop on by to check out the other links. You just may be inspired to spend a little bit of time slow stitching!

Such a pretty fabric for the binding! I commend you for going all the way with hand made. I think I would have used a single fold binding as it would be easier to stitch onto the quilt, although the double is so much more durable.
Lovely fabric for the binding!
So pretty! Thanks for showing how you do the binding by hand. I was curious on the last one you did that way. It is beautiful.
Love your fabric choice! I won't call you crazy, I think it wonderful you want to do it all by hand.
I am so excited for you and hope you enjoy the binding and relaxation which you think of your sister.
All by hand...wow!!!Your sisters must be very special!Good for you for not taking the easy way out!
Wow! You are very dedicated! I can see where you're coming from though if everything else is done by hand too!
