I need some quilting help!!

mrs_baggins

I dont really know what I am doing !

So I have made a quilt top, I have bought some batting and some sheeting for the back but not really sure what to do next. I had it written down but have lost it!

I am unsure as to the order of things I need to do. I was thinking that i should do the following but I may be wrong.

Press the quilt top (its still all rageddy at the edges)
cut batting (which i have to join) and sheet 2" bigger than quilt top.
iron sheet and tape to kitchen floor and put batting on top. put quilt top on top of this.

I have bought some quilting pins and i was going to put these through all three layers from centre out.

not sure what to do then! do I stitch my very simple pattern now.

then do I add the border at the end?

if anyone could help i would be very grateful!!

you have got it correct
i use a light spray of fabric glue to make sure i have no creases on my backing fabric as i quilt
like this

i have made several full size quilts and its still almost full
if you are going to make more quilts, its worth buying
