Binding the borders

I've been making a quilt for C and I am now doing the very last part - hand sewing on the borders. Its going pretty well, I'm half way round. Watching well know movies while I sew is good, I only look at the screen when my favourite parts of the movie are on, the rest of the time it is more like a book tape.

Another teacher at school also quilts and has a pile of perhaps 10 unfinished quilts in her hall. The bit they need - binding. Today she was sewing at lunch doing the binding on a lap quilt for her mother, and I found a better stitch to do it in. She is getting a bit of a hard time about the number of quilts she has that need binding - its hard to believe anyone spends that much time making something then won't spend an hour or two to finish the whole project, which may have taken months of hours here and there to make.

Anyway, I'm half way round, and am going to aim to get about another side done tonight - 3/4 done!
