I recently (last month) saw a cool "pick up stick" quilt as I was searching through "easy quilting patterns" on the internet. This one consisted of Vertical and Horizontal lines, not diagonal lines.

[QUOTE=evelyn5269;5890331]When I make my quilts I bring the backing forward, make perfect corners and sew it but my question is do you quilt first then bind or do you sew the binding and then quilt.
