Add the Quilt Borders

Refer to Sewing Straight Borders to cut and sew borders to the quilt. Use the 1-3/4" x 42" strips for inner borders and the 5" x 42" strips for outer borders. You should be able to sew a border from each strip--with no piecing.

Finishing the Quilt

Sandwich the top with batting and backing and quilt. Bind the quilt and add a hanging sleeve if desired.
