- With right sides together, sew ruffle on top of quilt back and batting.
- Iron ruffle up away from backing and press seam allowance down towards inside of quilt.
- Remove pins from your quilt top and unfold. Now fold the quilt top under 1/4" all the way around to hide raw edge. Press.
- Top stitch all around the quilt sewing through all layers. You could use a decorative stitch here to add more detail.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
OK... I was REALLY confused when I read this the first time....
You mean to say:
-Quilt the quilt except for 1" around the edges (check)
- Fold the 1" of the quilt top (only) over on itself and pin.
- put the ruffle and the outside of the quilt back together and stitch around the edge.
I was trying to visualize turning a quilted top inside out and my brain exploded. :)
