Backing & Batting: including a 4 inch allowance on all sides, backing and batting should be about 56" by 68".

Sandwich:

• Place pressed backing right side down on a flat surface large enough to lay flat; tape in place at sides, then corners.
• Lay batting on top of backing and smooth wrinkles; tape in place at sides, then corners. (If using slippery batting, spray baste to baking and top.)
• Put pressed quilt on top right side up.
