Wow, I found this tutorial just wonderful.. I am so new to this. It seemed like a good idea if your backing was large enough. I made this quilt top at a Homemaker's Camp in Monticello, IL and I had planned to use a plain muslin. I had a piece just the right size (maybe 2" larger all around and it is a matching piece of one of the squares) and when I put them together it looked like it should work but I had never seen it or heard anyone talk of this. THANK YOU so much. I can't wait to get started. I am going to get proficient with my computer some day and put the finished picture up to share with you. Again, thanks, I think you helped me more than you know. Jeanne from Illinois

Thank you Mary Anna. That was great. Your tut was easy to follow and added information I did not know and would have made a mess if you had no brought it to my attention. I decided I would like to add gathered lace to the turnover edging. Can I sew it on at the same time as doing the edging or should I add it as a next step?

This is the way I learned many years ago and I really like it. If someone is doing a complete hand quilt I think the other way may be important but for every day quilting this is great. I always tied my quilts also could not afford the time or money to quilt or have them quilted now I finally have to machine quilts that I had quilted and still have not done the border. Hope to get them done this year but time is running out thanks for posting this.
