I always pinned the ruffle to the finished top first. Have the ruffle finished edge face towards the center of the quilt. Baste stitch it to the quilt top. Then lay the quilt on top of the backing (right sides facing) and batting (on bottom). I pin around the edges after making sure all three layers are smooth. Stitch around the edges of the quilt sandwich just like birthing. I always like to put ruffles on girl quilts.
