Finishing a quilt is the final step in the quilt-making process, and it involves several important steps to ensure that the quilt is completed properly and will last for many years to come. Here are some general steps to follow when finishing a quilt:
Trim the quilt top and batting to the same size.
Layer the quilt top, batting, and backing fabric together, making sure that they are smooth and wrinkle-free. Pin or baste the layers together.
Quilt the layers together using your preferred method (e.g. hand quilting, machine quilting, etc.).
Once the quilting is complete, trim any excess batting or backing fabric from the edges of the quilt.
Create the quilt binding by cutting long strips of fabric and sewing them together at an angle to form a long, continuous strip. Fold the binding in half lengthwise and press.
Starting in the middle of one side of the quilt, sew the binding to the edge of the quilt top, using a ¼ inch seam allowance. When you reach a corner, stop sewing ¼ inch from the edge, fold the binding up and away from the quilt top to form a 45-degree angle, and then fold it back down to align with the next edge of the quilt. Continue sewing the binding to the quilt top until you have sewn around all four sides of the quilt.
Fold the binding over the edge of the quilt to the back side of the quilt and hand stitch it in place using a blind stitch or whip stitch.
Once the binding is sewn to the back of the quilt, your quilt is complete!
