Day 217. Almost done, Almost done...

Today, as promised, I cut the binding to size- sewed it into one long strip and then sewed it on to the blanket.  I then flipped it over, ironed a clean edge into it and pinned it down. Tomorrow morning, I will hand stitch the other side down and then I'll be done.  In case you're curious, the hand stitch is a button hole stitch which is invisible to see and moves pretty quickly, its only the corners that are somewhat tricky.

Tomorrow is our quilting for charity workshop, where we're going to try to quilt as many blankets for hospital patients as we can.  Come if you want, no experience necessary.
