In the simplest terms, "birthing" a quilt means binding it pillowcase-style. Here's how to do it:
1. Layer the quilt top and backing, right sides together, with a layer of batting on top.
2. Sew a ¾-inch seam allowance all the way around the quilt, leaving enough of an opening to fit your hand in.
3. Invert the whole sandwich¾quilt top, backing and batting¾right side out.
4. Hand-stitch the opening closed.
