Pinned the 3 pieces to make sure it didn't move.
Stitch around the perimeter with the quilt top on top so I could make sure I saw the 1/4" seam part.
Leave about 12" to turn - trim close to edge then right side out.
I flattened smooth, and pinned for quilting (hand distance apart) and stitched around the binding. I sewed the closure afterwards.
This is what we do at our church for our tied quilts. After we sew the 3 peices together we birth through the opening then re-pin around the borders, then SITD around the borders, hand sew the opening closed, then place ties in the quilt.
I would assume you could just as easily machine stitch the quilt as place ties in it.
