Finally! I finished free motion quilting the baseball charity quilt.
I have trimmed the batting and the backing to one inch all around.
Tomorrow I plan to at least start the binding.
I'm going to follow the directions in this post:

It describes how to bring the fabric from the back forward so it becomes the binding. I like the way she includes photos of the corners.
Unfortunately the edges of the project were not really straight - I lined up the side with the ruler though and cut one inch away. We'll how it finishes up as I do the binding work...
My DH is quietly excited to see the progress - I think at first he thought I was actually done and could start again on his quilt.... : (
Oh well.
