The Easiest Cheat for Binding a Quilt

This Fall has been filled with quilt making projects and outings for us. We started off with the super easy and adorable cheater quilt, made quilt binding, and took a trip to the Quilt Market. Today we have a quilt project brought to you by Rae from Made by Rae. Rae is always sewing up new projects like the cutest baby tights, the dapper dillingers, and the prettiest chevron purse. She is here to show all of you the Cheater Quilt Bind-Off. Step 1: After quilting the layers of your quilt together, trim the batting along the outside of the quilt right to the edge of the quilt top. Step 2: Trim backing (the yellow plaid fabric in my photos) to ONE INCH all the way around the quilt. Step 3: Starting near a corner and working clockwise around the quilt, fold the backing in half so that its raw edge is lined up with the edge of the quilt top (it will now be 1/2″ wide). Step 4: Fold backing one more time along the edge of the quilt top so that it overlaps the quilt top by 1/2″. Ta-daaaah!
