I am trying to finish a top that I made about 3 years ago. (Slow, I know.)
Used remnants to piece this top, so not sure content of fabrics.
I just added an additional 10 inches to each side in order to make it
larger.

Now I have purchased 100% cotton fabric (108" wide) to use for the
backing. My problem now is, should I wash the backing? If I do, then should I also wash the top? If I do, I cannot imagine having to iron the top with all those little seams & tangled threads, oh, my!

What is a newbie to do? Any help will be appreciated. Needing a little
confidence building. : )

Thanks in advance, Marilyn
