     10.   About 5 yards binding 2 inch wide. (I make my own; do not cut on bias by cutting 2 inch strips out of a yard of material. Then sew them end to end, and then iron up one side about ¼ inch, then do the other side.


# 2 and 3

Sandwich lining between top and backing, pin in place.

Pick a stitch you like, sew around square #1, down the seam line.

         










Sew around square between # 3 and 4, down the seam line.

Starting mid way down one side, attach binding. I used the leaf stitch, so you would center this so that is comes just a bit of the right side so that both sides of the stitching will hold the binding down.
