Note: If this Benartex pattern is included in a kit, any questions about

the kit should be addressed to the vendor from whom you bought it.

To create the clean look with this flag quilt we did not add binding to the cutting instructions. To finish the quilt, please follow the steps below complete quilt using a backing fabric of your choice.

• Place quilt top, batting and backing fabric together (make sure backing fabric is 1/2” larger than the quilt all around.) • Iron the backing perimeter in half and then open it back up.You should have a crease in the center. • Fold one side down along the crease, so the edge touches the edge of the quilt-top: • Fold over again to cover quilt-top. • Fold the corner over at a 45 degree angle: • Fold the top edge of the backing down along the crease, and then fold it over again so it covers the quilt-top and a perfect mitered corner is created. Use lots of pins to keep everything in place. Once you’ve done this to all the corners and pin in place, sew along the edge of the binding at a scant 1/8” using a straight stitch. Use a thread that matches the binding/backing fabric.
