Finishing Quilt

I finally started sewing on the binding for my latest quilt last night.  This one is for me so it's been sitting several months waiting to be finished.  It seems when something is a gift, I get it done as quickly as possible, but when it's for me, there is no hurry.  I love the fabric, it has sewing machines on it.  I'll post a picture as soon as I finish.  David has a golfing lesson tonight so I'm going to get some time to work on his birthday quilt.  I'm running out of time (his birthday is the August 25th) and may need to schedule a vacation day.  This is actually the second quilt I've made for him.  I gave him the first one for Christmas but was disappointed in how it turned out.  I tried a new pattern and didn't give any thought to how long it is.  This one doesn't cover his feet so it doesn't keep him warm on those cold winter nights.  Plus, I tried using a lower quality batting which was a BIG mistake.  Once I get this one done, the old quilt will probably find itself on a shelf somewhere.  Oh well, being a new quilter has it's drawbacks, but I won't make these mistakes again.  I'm sure I'll make other mistakes, but these two are in my past.  Hope everyone has a great day and makes a little time for being creative.
