I am handsewing the binding down on the back of the quilt. While the above shows the clips from the front, the actual sewing is happening on the back.
I am not sure this is really any better, but it does look a little nicer to my eyes. With the help of an audiobook on my iPod, over half of it was finished yesterday.
Of course I am using bias binding for this and to cut it, I followed the directions in this video.
This will be my first quilt finish for the year.

Yea! For thew quilt finish. Always a good way to start the new year!
Love the colors, waiting to see the whole complete finish.
Congratulations on this almost finish. I already know it is going to be lovely.
Congratulations on your soon-to-be first finish of the year! Great way to start the year - ;))
I like the look of binding done either way, by hand or machine, as long as it is done neatly. I do enjoy doing handwork, so that's not a deterrent for me, but sometimes the speed of a sewing machine is nice too.
I used to do all my quilts this way then due to arthritis I've stopped. I do think it looks better and it's such a calm thing - just having your quilt all around you and doing the last loving stitches.
