Start from the center line and use a matching or clear thread to
stitch in the ditch. Work end to end until you have stitched in every
ditch.
Once stitched, the back of the quilt will look something like this.
NOTE: The white lines indicate where you’ve stitched to join
the blocks.
O P
Trim away the excess back fabric flush with the quilt top using a
ruler and rotary cutter. You should still have 1/2” seam allowance
on all sides.
Now we will make binding for the quilt. Cut strips of fabric 2 1/2”
wide, creating 140” of binding.
NOTE: These are measurements for the A-size blocks.
Q R
To attach the ends of the binding, place the first strip face up, then
place the second strip face down, perpendicular to the first strip.
Stitch diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right.
Trim the excess, leaving 1/4” seam allowance.
