Cut one 10 x 12 inch rectangle of the top fabric.

Cut one 11 x 13 inch rectangle of the backing fabric and batting. 

Cut two 2-inch strips of the binding fabric.

Sew these two strips together on the bias to create one long strip.  To do this, line up two ends of the strips at a 90 degree angle.  Sew the strips, right sides together, at a 45 degree seam from the corner. 

Trim the excess and press the seam to one side.

Prepare your fabric for basting by layering them:  quilt back, right side down, on the bottom; batting in the middle; and quilt top right side up.  The batting should be centered so that it overlaps the quilt back evenly on all sides.  Center the quilt top on the batting.

Begin basting in the center, and work your way out.  Space your pins about four fingers apart from each other (on bigger projects, they should be further apart; about one hand away).
