Binding the Quilt

Place the quilt on a flat surface and carefully trim the backing and batting ½″ beyond the edge of the quilt top. Measure the quilt top and, from the fabric used for the border, cut two 2″-wide binding strips the length of your quilt (for the sides). Right sides together, sew one side strip to one side of the quilt with a ¼″ seam allowance (seam allowance should be measured from the outer edge of the quilt top fabric, not the outer edge of the batting/backing). Turn the binding to the back over the edge of the batting and the backing and turn under ¼″ on the raw edge. Slip-stitch to the backing. Do the other side in the same manner. Then carefully measure the top and bottom of the quilt and cut two 2″-wide binding strips this length plus ½″ for seam allowances. Attach in the same manner as for the sides, turning in seam allowances at ends.
