Grammy65 - I will use my quilting (not exactly a long arm) machine. The lady at the quilt shop that talked me into getting the Minkee said to pull it fairly taut on the frame. I will be using a pantograph with a pretty big motif to quilt it with. I see no way to hand stitch the binding to the back to finish it off. But I could machine stitch it to the back first and then pull it around to the front of the quilt and hand stitch it down. OR I can do it the way you did it - it's so pretty. It will be a while before I get to Hannah's quilt. I still have to mark Hunter's and get it on the frame and quilted. But I'll post a picture when it's all done - if I dont' throw it in the trash first - LOL!

I never bind by hand. I'm quite allergic to hand work and my doctor advises I avoid. (LOL)
Seriously, your way works just fine and looks GREAT.
