I finished up this quilt top (40" x 54") yesterday!! It has been sitting since December of last year and I have been really trying to not have too many unfinished projects in my stash. I added a layer of cotton as batting and then this white and yellow checkered cotton on the back. I stitched the cotton to the backing and then I added the quilt top and stitched rows of fancy stitching in white thread about 8" apart to quilt the sandwich together. I trimmed the backing with enough extra to bind my quilt with it. Worked out really well and I love the nice bright colours!!! Therese
