    Can't wait to see it. How far along have you got? I found the binding the hardest part, good luck with it! xx

  3. Oh yes the binding bit is fiddly - I often wish I'd got a spare pair of hands. I ususally zigzag round the layers before putting the binding on as it squashes the fabric/wadding down.

  4. It seems to be that time of year for patchworking as everyone's doing it - including me! Good luck with the binding, and can't wait to see it when it's finished!

  5. OOh lovely, can't wait to see! I have to admit I never did the binding thing when I made a quilt but it does look really nice finished off that way :)
