Quilt finishing

I am making a simple large quilt that I am going to hand tie but I am making a small baby clothes quilt that I would like to hand quilt or have someone machine quilt for me.
I have never done this.
Anyone have any suggestion on how I should finish a small baby clothes keepsake quilt??

Id' think that it's pretty much just a matter of what you like and your level of patience.  Hand quilting takes a long time, machine quilting is speedy!  Machine quilting is completely possible to do in your own sewing machine - especially if it's a small quilt.  In terms of how to do it, there are loads of places online where you can read about machine quilting - this is a great conversation about specifically freemotion quilting:

And having the right foot is key too: darning foot for freemotion, and a walking foot if you're doing straight lines.  Though I have quilted with my standard foot. 

And I'm no help with hand quilting because I'm just not patient enough AT ALL to give it a try!

Good luck!

I enjoy hand quilting, especially on small projets, but for a quilt made of baby clothes I would probably lean more towards machine quilting it - a stippling effect maybe?  Since the clothes have been worn and washed, some of them might be a little more delicate, and the quilting would help to avert wear that might cause small holes from developing where lose fabric has the ability to move more freely.  Good luck!

I love machine quilting.  You can go to your local sewing notions place and pick out some of those quilting stencils too, if the idea of free-handing all that quilting is too intimidating. I love stippling, since there's no wrong way of doing it, but you could always just stitch in the ditch of the quilt blocks.  One of my favorite quilts, that gets the most compliments, is a baby's quilt in black and white.  I did 10" squares, every other one is solid black and the others are black and white nine patch.  On the black and white blocks I just traced the vertical and horizontal lines to make the colors stand out.  On the solid black blocks, I went right along the edges of the block three times, an inch apart.  It looks so pretty but it was so simple to do.  I just used a regular straight stitch and set the length of it a bit longer so it would show up.  It was a little bit time consuming and I had to be patient and not shove the quilt through the machine too fast.  Since patience is not one of my stronger points, this was the hardest part of the whole quilting experience, lol.

Now, if someone could teach me how to dp the binding, that would be awesome.  Right now I've resorted to taking my quilts to my mother-in-law to have her put the binding on.  I've read so many tutorials (including Heather Bailey's excellent one!) and watched video after video on it...but somehow, when it comes to the corners, it all gets messed up and looks ridiculous.  Anyone have any tips or tutorial links on binding so I can finish my quilts myself?

I think that quilt, which would probably be of mixed fibers, would be hard to hand quilt. I also recommend machine-quilting it.
