Baby Quilt Step 8:

Lay the main quilt onto a flat surface. Take a measuring tape and find the halfway point of the quilt fabric length. Place a pin here. Take the flaps, fold them in half with wrong sides inwards and with sewn edges matching, (this is to find the centre point). Take a flap and match the fold to the centre pin on the quilt. Open it out and pin it along the edge of the quilt. (The right sides are now together). Sew a 1cm seam to join the flaps to the quilt.

Baby Quilt Step 9:

Put the quilt to one side. Take the lining fabric and the second piece of polyester filling. With the right side of the fabric facing up and the filling behind pin the two items together. Using the tape measure divide the length into quarters. Mark these horizontally with tailors chalk and a ruler (or pin them across). Sew horizontally to join the fabric to the filling. (Remembering to remove the pins as you go if you chose that option). Press.

Baby Quilt Step 10:

Take the quilt front and place on a flat surface. Fold the flaps into the centre. Take the back lining and with the right sides together pin the two together. (It is now very bulky and difficult to manage). Trim a small amount of the filling around the entire edges both sides to make sewing the seam easier. Remember to leave an opening at the bottom of the quilt large enough to pull the quilt back through. Approx 30 cm.

Baby Quilt Step 11:

Sew around the entire quilt with a seam of 1.5 cm, paying careful attention at the corners to make them straight and even.Trim corners and filling, then pull the quilt back through the opening. Press. Pin the opening together and with a needle and thread slip stitch close the opening.

There we have it.
