It WAS inspired by pleasantview, I DID hand sew the binding - which went way faster and more pleasurablely than I thought it would, and it did take me listening to my own advice about not trying to be perfect... And it DID turn out just fine, no bunchy batting, or huge hideous wonkiness... And we are all fighting for it around here, which means it's already a favorite and I love that. <br />I'm SO going there againlibbydibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174279926782352881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859330861058263556.post-56281744477118506562010-01-13T09:16:45.779-08:002010-01-13T09:16:45.779-08:00Looks great!

I'm impressed that, based on that photo, it appears you hand sewed the binding?!? That's where all my quilts lose their good look is on the binding because I'm unwilling to hand sew - I'm lazy - and it just doesn't end up looking as nice. Great job - see there is nothing to be afraid of! And besides, a certain someone who taught me how to sew (who's name rhymes with Jiberty) told me from the beginning that it doesn't have to be perfect - it's homemade and that's what counts!Christy T.http://howitallbegan.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
