Look up Kassaundra's tutorial and you'll see how it's done. It's easier than you think.

Great information! Thank you....off to look up the tutorial.

Wonderful quilt. I can't imagine your son, Luke, not loving this special quilt. I think it is so wonderful when people see new uses and beauty in items that others cast aside. Your quilt is one of those wonderful, re-purposed items.
