T-shirt quilt, Part 4 - Ta Da!

MANY weeks ago, I FINALLY pinned the binding of my quilt. You can see the little pins all around it.
I thought I would want to do a stretch stitch for the binding to make it sturdier. Essentially, the sewing machine goes forward and backwards and then the seam is stretchy. So it takes a while, and I kept not making the time to finish it. I finally decided that it was stupid the quilt was sitting in the middle of the floor for weeks and I should finish it. I did a couple of test seams on the scraps of fleece and realized that a regular seam would work just fine.

It took me all of maybe 10 minutes to sew around the whole edge. I guess this should be a lesson or something about procrastination?

Here is the finished product! I am proud of it.
Also, I finished it and took pictures a week ago. It took me that long to actually post it.
