Disclaimer: I do have pets, so if you are
allergic to animals, you may want to give some thought to sending a quilt to

no guarantees that some fur won't make it to your quilt.

Top Preparation
Your quilt should be:
- Clean
- Free
of loose threads – I will not be trimming the threads on the back of the
blocks and they could show through.
- Squared
up
- Pressed
well
- Seams
pressed to one side or the other (one seams shouldn’t go two directions)
Your backing should be:
- 8
inches longer than your top
- 8
inches wider than your top
- If
seemed, press these seams open to make less bulk on the take up roller.
Your batting should be:
- Should
be larger than your quilt top (just slightly)
- Preferably
free of wrinkles.
- Or
purchased from your us, we have batting on a bolt as noted in pricing
section.
Notes on Adding Borders
Log Type:
Determine the width of the quilt by averaging the distance of two or three
center measurements across the width. Cut
two borders that length and pin them to opposite sides of the quilt matching
ends and centers and easing in the fullness.
Sew and press.
Determine the length of the quilt by averaging the distance of two or three
center measurements across the length. Cut these borders that length and pin, easing in the
fullness. Sew and press.
Mitered:
To determine length of top and borders, measure across middle width of
center. To this, add width of
boarder twice plus ˝ inch. For
side borders, measure across the middle length of center.
To this, Also add twice the width of boarder plus ˝ inch.
Cut
borders to length. Fold and press ends at 45 degree angle.
This marks the miter seam. Fold border in half lengthwise to find center.
Find center of top and pin together.
Pin each end of border through the mitered crease and center of top, then
pin together remainder distributing fullness throughout
