Binding and signing. - FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent about two hours yesterday and one and a half hours today finishing the binding. I like to take my time and enjoy putting the binding on. It is very relaxing. Though, I think subconsciously I realize I have to give it away soon and so I savor the last few moments with the quilt. Every part of it has become familiar to you by this point - I know where I spent extra time figuring out a block or seam ripping stitches or picking out fabrics. It is kind of like that feeling when you are holding a sleeping baby (or two year old) and you know you have to put them down because another child needs you, but you don't want that moment to end... That's how I feel when I finish a quilt. Part of me never wants to finish it and hold on to it forever. 

Now to wash it... Please don't bleed!!! 

Total hours: 54 hours 
(Plus Jared has put in about 5)

Pictures coming soon. 
Jared and I were talking about how none of the fabrics are our favorites (except the cream dots - I love the cream dots) and some of them are borderline ugly, but somehow it all comes together to be so pretty.
