Once my thread arrived, I was able to finish up the quilting in about five minutes!
For the binding, I used the leftover fabric from the backing. I like to cut a 2.25" binding, and for this quilt, I sewed the binding to the front by machine and hand stitched it to the back.
I really am wishing that I would have had another charm pack or two to make this quilt bigger and keep it for myself! But I'm sure that this will end up snuggled by one of our friends' babies eventually!
