Jean:
1.Place quilt top and backing fabric ~ right sides together.
2. place batting on top of the backing fabric.
3.Using a 1/2" to 3/4" seam, sew around the edges. Leave an opening big enough to fit your hand through.
4.Turn the quilt right side out.
5. smooth out the inside of the quilt with your hand or a pointed object, in the corners especially.
6.Close the opening with hand stitches.
7. stitch round the outside quilt with a 1/4" seam allowance, this makes what is referred to as a "false binding". or add regular binding if you choose.
