A Lovely Year GOAL for June

Another month and other project to [hopefully] cross off the mahoosive to-do list!  I achieved my May goal yay) but missed the deadline to link up.  Silly me.  That's what I get for juggling too many balls at once (especially since I don't know how to juggle)!


My June goal will be to attach 400+ inches of binding to my 'King Kong Wonky' quilt.  I had it long-armed by Debbie thank goodness but now I have the arduous task of stitching the binding on.  By hand.  400+ inches.

Quilted in an on-point square grid.  Should wash up wonderfully!

Wish me luck!

    Why don't you machine-bind?
    Look at Red Pepper Quilts, Rita offers a fantastic tutorial:

    Good luck! I so wouldn't have the patience to hand stitch that though!

    It's beautiful! There is no way I would sew the binding by hand on a quilt that big... Oh my gosh! But good luck with it! :-)

    I love binding, good luck with that (that's not an offer to do it for you by the way!). :o)

    Lovely quilt and I too love hand finishing the binding.. it just makes you feel good.... and its a good time for social stitching as it doesn't need your full attention..

    How beautiful! Wow 400 inches is an obscene amount of binding...

    What a great quilt. I really love the handwork in stitching down a binding. I'm also too much of a perfectionist to do it any other way.
