QUILTING AND FINISHING

13

Baste your backing fabric, batting and
quilt top together using your preferred
method. Laura spray basted her quilt.

14

Quilt as desired. Laura quilted figures

of eight to achieve a swirled effect.

15

Make binding by sewing your strips into
one long length with 45-degree seams.
Fold the strip in half wrong sides together
lengthways. You’ll need at least 210in of
binding – roll up for easy handling.

16

Bind your quilt by machine or by hand,

using your preferred method to finish.
