prepare for QuiltiNG1. Cut the backing fabric into two pieces

the same length as the finished quilt top. Remove the selvedges.

2. Pin the two pieces together along the long side and stitch. Press the seam open.

3. Trim to correct size.

4. With the backing wrong side up, center the batting on top of it, then lay the quilt top onto the batting, right side up to create a quilt sandwich.

5. Baste the three layers together using safety pins or quilt basting spray. If using safety pins, pin in rows no more than 6" apart.

Quilt aNd fiNish1. Use your sewing machine’s walking

foot to quilt in the ditch or set the machine for free motion and use a free motion foot to quilt as desired.

2. Join the binding strips with diagonal seams.

3. Create a double-layer binding by folding, then pressing the strip in half lengthwise with wrong sides together.

4. Bind the quilt outer edges by sewing the binding into one side and folding the binding over the raw edge and hand-sewing or machine sewing the other folded edge in place.
