Louis, do you know anyone who is a quilter?? If you need further advice ask at the quilt shop where they helped you and you may find a delighted tutor who will be your able assistant. Most of the quilters I know would be so happy to be asked for help. You will need to put binding on the outer edge to cover the raw edges of the fabric. There is a really good binding tutorial on the Missouri Star Quilt Company website and she also has a ton of free tutorials for other aspects of quilting as well as many free and easy quilt patterns. I hope this project will be the start of a long and happy career as a quilter. It is a wonderful creative hobby that provides a lifetime of enjoyment and productive projects. Come back to the board as often as you wish for help or just to give us an update. Do browse the internet for free tutorials and you will learn a ton of new things.
