You used what you had and it looks fabulous. As for the binding. So glad you just took the plunge and did it. I used to be afraid of binding, but once I took the plunge, I found it to be my favorite part of making the quilt. Very relaxing. Here is a link to a blog where she shows step by step how to do binding. Great directions and great pictures. <a href="http://sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/2009/08/binding-tutorial-three-part-series.html" rel="nofollow">http://sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/2009/08/binding-tutorial-three-part-series.html</a> Sarah,

I learned to sew this summer, and am working on it as best I can...I've got one mini (baby) quilt under my belt, and am looking forward to trying another soon. I would love to make something to bring to the beach to lay on -- since the summer is ending here, that gives me several months to work on something and I need all the time I can get! :-) LOVE it!

I loved hearing you say that you were impatient and gung-ho during the cutting - that describes me with so many of my projects. :) You've definitely inspired me; I have a lot of fabric I'm hanging onto and I think I'll try a quilt with it this winter when it's too cold to be outside! Love to have you visit my Borrowed Abode blog; I'm just getting started in my home but we all start somewhere, right? I wish I had more rooms so I could implement some more beachy themes.

I don't like to get all sandy... I know it's the beach but I only like it on my toes!

I love the colors and the sailboat. You have every reason to be proud of it. If I'd made that, I wouldn't want to take it to the sandy beach (heck, I'd probably hang it on the wall!).

You have done such a great job with it and well done for your first try. I made one when my eldest was a baby out of red and blue gingham, stripes and an old pair of denim jeans that I cut up into squares and it turned out so well, the kids still use it now to keep them warm while they are watching telly. Next you should make yourself one for your bed!! Wow the Quilt looks fantastic!!! You have done such a great job with it and well done for your first try.

Your new quilt is gorgeous -- and VERY beachy. I made one with appliqued motifs and it was so much work that I switched back to knitting! Must be beginner’s luck.
