What I really need is the idiots guide or the A B C of quilting. I am doing an Art project and fell into the idea of quilting by accident. I was wondering how the top piece, the wadding and the back are sewn together so they are neat and don't pull like my first attempt has i.e. the order for doing things. I sewed mine altogether before machining the quilt pattern on and it was a mess.

First, assemble the quilt top and press it well. Press seams to one side, not open. Assemble a sandwich of backing, batting and quilt top, then baste or safety pin it together with pins every four inches. Start in the middle and work your way to the outside to keep fabric and batting from bunching. Finally, actually stitch it together, by machine or hand, again starting in the middle and working to the outside.
