urgodschild, So how close do you come to the seam with your quilting? Do you leave an inch space not quilted in order to sew the next row on? Or can you quilt closer to the seam than that? Or is it just an experiment for how close I'm comfortable? I think if I quilt out to the edge, leaving only 1/4", then try to make that last 1/4" into the seam it will be too much of a struggle, or will it? I could see all your pictures and directions well, thanks. I didn't think about sewing both the top and the back when I got to the border, then stuffing the batting in afterward. Good tip!
