    I was scared of the binding too Renee, but there are lots of helpful threads on here (just do a search for 'binding'), and youtube has some great videos which I found really helpful to follow step by step as I was actually doing the binding, pausing the video as I went along.

    I found it was not as hard as I thought. I have never really hand sewn, so I machine sewed it - sewing to the front first, then flipping it over, pinning in place and stitch in the ditch from the front. I've done two baby quilts like that, and while it is fast, I am sure that hand sewing it in the back is tidier, so I am going to try that on the next one.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do! Can't wait to see that lovely top transformed in to your first quilt![quote]

    You have done a beautiful job for a first quilt, and if there is any mistakes that is all a part of quilting. (I didn't see any) Welcome to the addiction of quilting, you either love it or quit. But, I think you already love it, and your son will treasure his quilt for years to come. Are you already thinking of the next project? Enyoy!!!!!!!!!!
