Cutting Instructions:

- (1) 30" x 21" rectangle for the Backing,

- We suggest wrapping your Binding around a piece of cardboard and securing the end with a pin, to keep it tidy.
Assembly Instructions:
- On a large work surface (we like the floor), make a "sandwich" of your Backing, batting, and pieced top, with the fabrics' Right Sides facing outward and their edges aligned.
- Pin or baste all layers together, over the entire surface of the mat. Trim the excess batting.
- Install your quilting foot (if you’re using one) according to your sewing machine manual’s directions, and quilt the mat as desired. We sewed out quilting lines at a 45º to the fabrics’ grain, making up shapes as we went.
- Trim any uneven edges, and finish the edges with your Binding.
