In about two years I may be able to post some pictures but until then I will keep on sewing.
GO TIGERS! What a wonderful way to double dip. Tigers and a quilt both at the same time.

WMUT each,
Here is how I birth a quilt: front and back -rightsides together-add batting-sew around the edgewhile leaving opening to turn. After turning, I sew around the edge about .5 of an inch. Quilt as you want.
Mostly I do this for baby/toddler quilts because they get a lot of wear. Wishing you the best.

To birth a quilt, I put the batting on the back of the quilt flimsy. Then I make the backing and lay the batting, quilt flimsy down right side up and then lay the backing right side down. I sew about a half an inch all around the quilt except for 10 inches. Then I reach in the hole and pull everything through it and poke the corners out nicely. I iron the quilt well and then quilt it all over. This way you don't have to do the edges with binding. It's great for kids quilts!
