You do not need to know how to sew to be part of this event.  In fact, most of the effort in putting a quilt together involves no sewing.

Layering is done by teams of 3 to 4 people and consists of the following steps.

  1. Base - start by laying down what will be the back of a quilt.  Most often this is a bedsheet.
  2. Batting - the batting layer is the fluffy stuff that gives the quilt its "body".
  3. Top Layer - This is the front of the quilt that a sewing person has put together from scraps of material.
  4. Pinning.  All of the layers are held together with safety pins spaced about 8 - 10 inches apart
  5. Binding - The edges of the sheet on the bottom are rolled up over the top and clipped in place to give the quilt a finished look.

After all the layering is complete, there is a step that removes all of the safety pins and secures the layers together with thread tied through the layers about every 10 inches.

The quilt is finished off with a sewing step.  The binding around the edge of the quilt is sewn in place and the clips are removed
