LECTURE: Backing, Binding, Batting, Beauty — designing a quilt from back to front
QUILTFEST VIRTUAL SCHOOLHOUSE POP-UP EVENT LECTURE: Learn how convenient and smart it is to design and construct a modern quilt, starting from the back! With a little thought and pre-planning, the steps to making a quilt can be much more efficient, saving the best parts for last. This lecture comes with a downloadable handout, helpful for planning your next modern quilt.
BACKING: Build your backing first, after deciding on the overall dimensions of the finished product. Make sure to include a quilt label, stitched in place!
BINDING: Create your binding strips second. Regardless of binding style, it saves time in the end to have the binding prepped and ready to go.
BATTING: Use your batting on top of the backing as a foundation to quickly build up a quilt, anchoring the elements as you go. Learn to prep your batting for fast assembly.
BEAUTY: Finally, enjoy piecing and building a beautiful modern quilt top as a last step, quilting as you go. Get the tedium out of the way while planning your design.
