Sew a strip to the top and bottom, press towards the yellow print 3 Finishing Press the whole quilt top again and make sure their are no ‘lumpy’ joins, this makes it easier to quilt. Sandwich the quilt layers – backing (right side down), then the wadding and quilt top (right side up) Baste and quilt as desired. I quilted the original with a loopy all over pattern and included a few cute little bumble bees ...... Trim the backing and batting back to ¼” bigger all round. Prepare the binding by joining the 2 ½” strips together using a mitred seam to make one long piece. Press in half lengthwise and sew – using your walking foot – to the right side of the quilt top aligning with the raw edges. Follow the diagrams to make mitred corners. Trim away the excess batting and backing. I like to leave it a fraction wider than the quilt top so that the binding is full. Turn the binding to the back and hand sew in place. Don’t forget to sew a label on your quilt! More Willowberry Designs patterns can be found at www.willowberrydesigns.typepad.com 4
