Binding a quilt with fleece backing.

Speaking of binding here s a helpful post from crazy mom quilts on how to bind tiny things. The cotton binding was 3 inches. Fleece also comes in wider widths than the standard quilter s cotton most often used for backings so it s often possible to back your quilt without having to piece the fleece backing to make it wider. Both ways were fine but i liked the look of the fleece binding.

Place the quilt top over the polar fleece with the right side facing up. Sometimes i just don t want to spend the time and energy on a binding. Lay out the polar fleece backing with the right side of the fleece facing down. Here is a great tutorial for how to bind a quilt with the backing.

I also did one with the fleece i only use a single fold binding cut it 3 inches sewed on the front as usual and hand stitched the back. Like allison says cut the backing. The fleece layer replaces both the batting wadding and backing layers. Learn a simple quick technique for finishing off your little quilts.

Or i am in a rush to get a project done. We are demonstrating how to use your left over backing fabric as your binding. I sewed the edges of the quilt before i attached the binding in both cases.
