Once the back fabric has been secured, we are ready to
stitch in the ditch to join the two together. Starting at the
top or bottom, roll up or fold the quilt towards the face side,
leaving the center seam exposed for sewing.

Once you’ve stitched through all the seams vertically and
horizontally, the tile scene should look something like this.

For the binding, cut strips measuring 21⁄2” wide by the
perimeter of your quilt top, plus a few additional inches.
For our quilt top, we cut 4 strips measuring 21⁄2” wide out of
fabric measuring 44” wide.
Transfer the rolled quilt to your sewing machine and begin
to stitch in the ditch in the horizontal seam, working from the
center seams out towards the edges. Repeat step S, rolling
the quilt vertically this time, in order to get to the seams.
Now, use a rotary cutter and ruler to trim away any excess
back fabric to meet the quilt top’s 1⁄2” seam allowance.
To join the strips together, place two strips’ ends
perpendicular to one another, with face sides together if
applicable. Use a pin to secure in place.
