And we have a finished quilt

This is going to be a long post so bear with me. You remember I said getting the back on would be a breeze, well here it is. I started it this morning and I am done.

This is the back of the quilt, notice the brown panel that I was talking about earlier. I place it down right side up so that the part I want facing out when the quilt is done faces the ceiling.

I place the top on next and this is upside down unlike the back.

To center the quilt I match up the center seams of the panels, it's kind of cheating but it works.

Next I trim the bottom fabric to match the top fabric, with a little help from the cat.

Next I get out the batting, I am using full size batting not twin or queen

I lay it over the top

Then I trim it and pin all three layers being very careful to match them up exactly and leave room to sew the edges.

Then I sew the edges, double stitched of course, there is no other way for me

Cutting the corners makes it easier once the quilt is turned right side out

Make sure you take out all the pins as you go

and leave an opening, you will need this to turn the quilt out.

Turn the quilt out using the opening you made

This is what it looks like turned out, but it's not done

I always sew the edges, this serves many purposes, first, the opening you left can be closed and no one will ever know it is there, also if there are any other accidental openings you can close these too.

And this is it, finished quilt. TA DA! Took me long enough.
