Are you like me and love getting the quilt binding done on your project? It’s so nice to sit and stitch, knowing that the end is almost in sight. Even nicer when you can hand stitch outside on the patio, as I did, making the most of the warm Autumn weather.
Hand stitching the binding
This was a very economical quilt to make, as most of the squares used were gifted. The border fabric came from the “freebie” table at my quilt club, and the flannel backing was also a give away, so I feel I've done very well indeed with this little donation quilt.

The squares include bunnies, fairies, chickens, frogs, high heel shoes, butterflies and flowers, all sorts of things for a little one to find. This quilt will be going to Foster Hope, a charity for children in foster care.

yes I like to get the binding done too - it means I can finally use it or someone else can! nice finish
Such a sweet quilt, Jenny,overspilling with delightful squares of adorable fabrics. Some child will spend many delightful moments inspecting each whimsical square. How kind of you to stitch this charity quilt. Yes, I rather love the binding process. I love the fact that my quilt is nearly finished and can be enjoyed forevermore.
Congratulations! It’s a delightful and fun quilt.
What a beautiful quilt, a little girl will treasure it. I love the way you've quilted the border. Thanks for the email about the walking foot.

That is one special I Spy quilt! It should keep a a little one’s interest a long time. Smart lady to be stitching outside while taking advantage of a pretty autumn day.
I love to stitch binding! What an awesome quilt for some little girl!
Oh yes... binding is my favourite!
You have done a great job with this scrappy quilt!
Thank you for your generosity!
I love stitching binding, too! That's a very sweet quilt that someone's going to love!
What a great finish. That is such a sweet donation quilt.
I agree with your thoughts on binding. You can tune out and just stitch away. It really is a lovely quilt.
Such a sweet girls quilt and great to have been given most of the fabrics..
