  2. Starting with the bottom strip of the quilt, place the front strip and back strip wrong sides together.

  3. Flip the front of the adjoining strip over the bottom strip with right sides facing.

  4. Flip the back of the adjoining strip to back, so that the right sides of the back strips are facing.

  5. Sew or serge four layers together.

  6. Flip back strip up.

  7. Place strip of batting on back strip.

  8. Flip front strip up over batting.

  9. Smooth and pin so that batting is encased between the front and back pieces of the second strip.

How do you keep the batting from shifting?

Never quilted before so I thought that the batting would be secured when sewn between the strips of fabrics. Good question. I think the video and tutorial were very good. Looks to be a pretty easy and quick quilt to make for a gift or for yourself. Have you made a strip quilt before? What is the best to start with?
