I don't use a rotary cutter either, just templates, pencils and scissors. I hope you find a nice backing fabric. I don't follow any of the professional 'rules', I just lay my backing fabric, add the batting and quilt top, pin with special quilting pins and shock horror, then I sew on my binding! If it is any help to you I just cut 2 1/2 inch lengths of fabric, iron in half folded over then sew on to the quilt with the machine, then hand sew over to create the binding. I then hand quilt 1/4 inch in each ditch, so it is rustic and home made! Good luck Charlotte, I am so pleased to see you lovely quilt and the beautiful pretty fabrics you have used.

The colours are stunning and it looks like an antique quilt. Are you going to hand quilt it? To me, there is nothing lovelier than sitting with a quilt draped over my lap and hand quilting it. You have inspired me to start one although I haven't done such a large patchwork project for yonks! Patchwork is not meant to be perfectly regulated, mine never is. I love how cats always find somewhere cosy to sleep, they look blissful.<br />Jo xxHesta Nestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260523918707092137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583806582324214154.post-43997476062766599882012-01-23T18:46:33.776+00:002012-01-23T18:46:33.776+00:00Oh it's looks wonderful Charlotte.Oh it's looks wonderful Charlotte.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360621155261027279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583806582324214154.post-9293957414292385382012-01-23T17:57:54.146+00:002012-01-23T17:57:54.146+00:00I wish you lived nearer, you could bring your quil...I wish you lived nearer, you could bring your quilt round I would would help you get it all layered. 2 wall paper tables pushed together in someone's garage will work at a push :-)<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583806582324214154.post-76469528143359473232012-01-23T17:32:00.724+00:002012-01-23T17:32:00.724+00:00Lovely project.
