I personally hate hand sewing anything, and I always find that hand sewing the binding always takes a super long time. My mother-in-law suggested that instead of hand sewing, I could use a decorative stitch to finish the binding. I tried it first on my Easter quilt, and loved it, so I'm going to do that for all my bindings from now on. Here's what it looks like.

James & Joy's baby quilt
Here's a baby quilt that I made for James and Joy. It has a polar fleece backing, super soft.
Quickie table runner
My friend's dad had his 60th birthday party, and I made him this quickie table runner in one evening with pre-cut 5" squares. The fabric was from Fat Quarter Shop, and the fabric series is called Perennial Spice.
Cat Quilt #2
This is the second cat quilt that I made, which I gave to my husband, who also loves kitties.
Dog Wall Hanging Quilt
This dog wall hanging was made with one paper-pieced square (the dog). The bone and dog house are appliqued with fusible web, with images found from the web. This was made for Sheryl's birthday.
Charm Square table runner
My table runner made up of 5" charm squares. It has a polar fleece backing, and a stipple pattern for quilting.
Easter Egg Quilt
Here's a quilt that I made for Easter. I took different strips of fabric, alternating between 1.5 and 3 inches, and I sewed them together. I then found an Easter egg coloring image off the web, and used the shape of the egg there as my egg template. I put my strips on Steam-a-Seam double stick fusible web, put the egg template on the other side, and cut out the shape. I then ironed it on to white fabric, and zipper stitched around the egg with yellow thread I then made my quilt sandwich, and stippled the white background with multi-colored thread.
