These are all great suggestions. I have used the type where you sew the right sides together, leave an opening, and then pull the quilt out. But that was before I learned how to stipple. I wasn't sure I could do that method now. I love the decorative stich idea. I have a finished quilt with the binding sewn to the back only. That method will be a great way to finally finish the front. I will have to look up some of the other suggested methods to get clearer instructions. Thanks. I knew this forum would be helpful.
