String of Pearls - The long tedious part...

I'm making great progress on my String of Pearls QA quilt (at Christa's Quilts).  Now the hard part for me begins.  I used to be afraid to do bindings.  Now that I have my machine sewn method down pat it's a couple hour process.  BUT this quilt is a little more special and needs some extra attention.  This binding will be HAND SEWN -- Ewwwww!  Yes, it will look awesome, but it will take me forever.  I got three feet done yesterday and it took me two hours!

 

I love the orange I picked for the binding.  But this is how I will see the quilt for the next week.  All balled up in a little pile just waiting for my sore fingers to do another three feet and watch a movie.

 

Below is a pic of the quilting.  I just love this swirl pattern!
