I know. I am as surprised as you are. I think it was the freedom that this quilting allowed. I could follow Eva's guidelines, or I could stray a bit. I could play. I think that is what is killing me with the Community Quilt quilting - the unforgiving straight lines. So that when I am quilting all I can think is "Do not mess up. Don't mess up!" But here, it is so much more natural.
No binding on this quilt. The top will be pulled to the back and stitched closed. This project is just filled with little bits and pieces I haven't tried before, so it's a great learning experience. Using the front to find the quilt. New. Adding the final hanging sleeve. Also new. Goodness you can nearly see me growing from there, can't you? :)

Learning new stuff and enjoying yourself in the process...that's a win/win in my book! And not having to bind it the regular way brings it even closer to the finish line! Congratulations on a job well done!
