I am very much new to quilting, I have done the march doll quilt, and I did the pull to the front, the one you said was easy, peasy took me all day to get those darn corners to match. :? :? God bless. Penny

At several of our quilt shows the judges seem to like this affect. I usually get a good grading on this on the critique from the judge.

If it's a quilt for my kids, I generally use backing fabric and pull over to top and stitch to top as binding (easy-peasy and fairly bullet proof)... Any thoughts? Leigh |
Thanks for the websites! & the info!

What I have done so far , I have machine sewn the binding. Not to say I would not hand sew something that was calling out to be hand sewn!
