So I just finished my first big quilt. I have done quite a few baby quilts and blankets but I decided to make one for me. It is sooo great. Mostly pastel colors, quite a few Amy Butler fabrics and then alot from JoAnn's too. The bottom is a great lime green fleece that I found at JoAnn's. I didn't want to do cotton so this was great. I also hand sewed the the binding on (thanks to Bend the Rules Sewing by Amy Karolhttp://www.angrychicken.typepad.com). That is a great book if you are wanting to learn some "thinking outside of the box" sewing tips. I guess this is the proper way to do a binding on a quilt but I haven't done it in the past. This time I took the time to do it and it does indeed look better.
