That is a ray of sunshine you see! We are enjoying a sunshine-y, wintry day! |
HERE is my quilt binding tutorial. I always use a double-fold layer of fabric and sew it completely by machine for durability. How the quilt wears over time is more important to me than it being hand-bound; plus, machine binding is much faster ... as in MONTHS faster for me!

That is such a beautiful quilt. What an amazing quilt to finish up.

A double Irish chain was my first quilt - yellow, blue and white. Still have it, still love it. Love yours, and I love that you used red thread to quilt it.
And I totally agree with you on the durability of machine vs. hand binding. My quilts get a lot of wear and washing and the machine binding just holds up better. Some quilters can be a bit snobbish or embarrassed about it - glad you aren't!
