I agree with Dunster about a 'facing'. After quilting, cut strips about 4-5" wide,( either of backing fabric or to match the front) long enough to do the 4 sides. Place one strip along an edge of the right side, pin to hold in place and stitch 1/4" in around the edge. You will probably have to mitre the corners. When that's done you may have to snip a bit into the 'V' corners, trim the outside excess fabric, then turn it inside out. You then have a facing to stitch down by hand. Much easier.
Some do this with baby quilts, placing the whole backing fabric on the top side of the quilt, and sewing all around except for 6-10", then turning it inside out. That's called 'birthing' the quilt.
Hope this helps
