It's a rainy day in Georgia...not so good for washing quilt-tops from the auction (this one is now drying in the kitchen) but great for putting binding on quilts (particularly when the quilt has been quilted for almost 6 months!)
This is my Penisve Quilt - made with buckets of 1-1/2 inch strips. Amazingly those "buckets" are still full...I've had the binding ready to go for months so it will be nice to get it off of my to-do list! I try and make binding for a quilt as I work on the top. I wind it on a cardboard tube left over from paper-towels and keep it with the top. Though I have been known to either change my mind or just used the "wrong" binding for the wrong quilt but I'll never tell which ones it happened to!
It is a good memory quilt of all the fabrics I've used in the past 15 or so years. About the only thing I didn't put in it was Christmas fabrics...
I think Dobby has the right idea...before I do the hand turning on the binding I may take a nap too....

Your old quilt tops are just SO inspiring! Your new string quilt looks great too. Hope we'll get to see more of it!
Kitty has the right idea, a nap on a rainy afternoon. Like you scrap strip quilt-----be sure and take a full picture when the binding is on.
A rainy day, a comfy quilt, a snuggly kitty... nap time sounds perfect to me!
