Now that you have machine or hand quilted your quilt, it’s time to finish it. Sue shows you how to block and trim your quilt so you are working with a quilt that is square and lays perfectly flat. Then she shows you how to add straight double binding with mitered corners and join the binding for a clean join. Finish with a sleeve if you are going to hang your work, and add a label to document the date of your masterpiece.

Great information. I wonder though should you shrink the fabric before you start a quilt being they are often 100% cotton??
