Finally! A QOV Finish!

This is my QOV for August…..yeah, I am behind. I usually bind a quilt ASAP. I remembered this week why I put this one off. I sued the great number fabric from IKEA for the back because it was wide enough without begging pieced. Problem is the printing on the selvedge is kinda far from the edge.

Yeah, so I made a wide binding. Not wide on the front:

I did finish the hand sewing last night.
