FINISHING


1. Layer backing and wadding with top. Secure by pinning or basting. 2. Quilt. Keeping the bow ends out of the way, our quilter quilted around the Celtic wreath for definition. Te background was pushed back with a meandering stitch, including inside the wreath. Finally, our quilter stitched vertical lines within the borders giving both colours a ribbed effect. 3. Join binding strips. 4. Fold binding strips in half lengthwise. Align and attach binding with walking foot. Visit www.irishquilting.com for full guidelines on layering and binding.
