Birthing a quilt is another method of finishing the edges without using binding.




1. Layer the quilt top, backing (right sides together), and batting in that order. Pin baste layers together.



2. Sew 1/4" seam around the perimeter of the quilt, leaving a 6"-8" opening for turning.

 

 

 

3. Now un-pin the quilt and turn the quilt sandwich right sides out, as you would for a pillowcase.

 

4. Fold in the edges of the opening and blind stitch it closed.

 

5. Finally machine quilt or tie the sandwich as desired.
