I placed the top on some batting and backing fabric. Crudely traced around it, leaving 1 - 2 inches extra width on the batting and backing.
I placed the back and top right sides together with the batting on the bottom. I then stitched around the outside of the top, securing all three layers.
After stitching, I trimmed the excess fabric and batting. I also snipped the corners to reduce bulk. I cut a 3 inch hole through the bottom and batting for turning. Once turned, I pressed the project.
I still have the fun stuff left to do at this point. I need to top stitch the edge of the table runner and tack down and quilt the EPP hexies.
Here are some photos.
Done sewing all hexies together. Back and batting is actually sewn on at this point. Ready for turning.
The batting side:
Snip! I then reached through this hole and pulled the right side out.
I placed the EPP hexies on top so that you can see what it'll look like when it's done. I can't wait to top stitch and tack everything down! :) I plan to use the method in this wonderful tutorial to do the quilting:
