Donation quilt, quilted and binding



The Donation quilt (aka UFO) is finished being quilt by yours truly.  It looks pretty rough, as in the quilting does but it was a learning experience. Below is the quilting I did on the borders, I really like the way I pictured it and it didn't turn out too bad.  But it definitely could have been better.

I also put on the binding strips.  I don't know what the heck I was thinking when I cut them... but they are REALLY small.  I have about a half an inch to wrap around to the back for hand-sticking.  I haven't attempted to hand-stick it yet and I am really nervous that it won't work.  I don't really have any extra fabric to re cut binding strips so at this point, if it doesn't work, I may just toss the stupid thing in the trash.

I hope to get the binding finished in the next week.  I don't mind hand sticking but it is time consuming and I am just not sure how long it's going to take me or if I will have enough momma time to do it.
