Step 3Quilt the fabric
Lay one of the 9 x 17 rectangles over the batting and smooth flat. Pin the two layers to each other here and there.
If you can adjust the foot pressure on your sewing machine to make it lighter, do so now.
Quilt straight lines, spaced 1 inch, across your fabric at a 45 degree angle from the edges. If your machine has a quilting bar, do this by quilting one good line, then following that line using the quilting bar. Otherwise, mark each line using a ruler. After covering the whole piece of fabric in diagonal lines, make perpendicular diagonal lines going the other way. This will make 1-inch squares.
Cut both 9 x 17 rectangles--the quilted one and the un-quilted one--into a 12.5 x 9 piece and a 4.5 x 9 piece.
