After quilting, cover the edges with bias tape to finish
them.
Make bias tape with a finished width of 7 mm (1/4
inch).
Draw a 35-mm-wide (1-3/8 inches) strip at a 45°
angle on the fabric, and then cut it out.
Draw a line 7 mm (1/4 inch) from the edge of the
bias tape.
Sew the strips together to a length of 15 to 20 cm (6
to 8 inches) plus the length of the four sides of the
quilt.
With their right sides together, align the ends of two
sections, and then sew them together with 7 mm (1/4
inch) seam allowance.
