I am very much new to quilting, I have done the march doll quilt, and I did the pull to the front, the one you said was easy, peasy took me all day to get those darn corners to match. :? :? God bless. Penny

At several of our quilt shows the judges seem to like this affect. I usually get a good grading on this on the critique from the judge.

I never heard of the 1/2"strip of batting. Thanks for sharing.

If it's a quilt for my kids, I generally use backing fabric and pull over to top and stitch to top as binding (easy-peasy and fairly bullet proof)... Any thoughts?
