Thanks! I sewed it on the front only, first, no batting in the seam. Then when I turned it over I laid it out flat on my table and trimmed the batting so it just butted up against each other. Then I handstitched the backing. Then I sewed that seam with a straight stitch from the front. It should've caught the batting then, but if it didn't the batting was stitched by my quilting only about 1" away as I did all of the log ends by stitching them like stair steps. Whew! I hope this is clearer than mud. Lol!
