Mom taught me a quick lesson on how to correctly do bindings when I was there in April. It is amazing how much better it turned out with her little tricks. I also attempted to quilt it on my machine. I tried stippling, and I feel like I finally got the hang of it around the time I was about done. I know I still need to work on evenness and getting rid of pointed edges. But I tell you what -- when I was done quilting it I was so disappointed and swore that I would never try to machine quilt again. The quilt didn't lay flat and that just burned my britches. So I swiftly threw it in the washer to see if the washer would, in fact, work it's magic. And Voila!!! It did. Now it lies flat and my britches have been spared once again.Now, on to the next project, whatever it may be. Maybe a summer dress for Gabs, because she is getting too hot in her long sleeve corduroy dresses.

I am glad that you were able to use the fabric.

Looks good Monica. I think you did great on the quilting. I'll have to have another binding tutorial from mom. My don't stay flat.
