Its easy and fun, but most of all, this quilt is gorgeous.

Directions:
Step 1
To start, cut 20 strips.
Each strip will be 3 1/4.
Next, make the backing.
Cut your flannel in the dimensions given, sew a center seam, and press open.
Lay the quilt top over the backing, wrong sides together, and pin to secure.
After this, quilt your strips as you desired using coordinating thread.
(In this case, an edge stitch was used in simple straight lines.)
Now, its time to stuff your puffy quilt.
Pin your edges and baste or stitch to secure.
Trim the edges of your quilt with scissors or a rotary cutter.
Next, for the binding, cut 1 & 1/2 strips to make a narrow binding.
Cut your 6 binding strips at 1& 1/2 x WOF.
Press each strip in half, wrong sides together.
Trim your edges and finger press the seams open.
Now, it’s possible for you to add the binding to your quilt.
Start on one side, about 10 down, and stitch to the top of the quilt.
Fold your binding over to form a 45-degree angle and then, fold back in the other direction.
Continue stitching directly from the edge.
Now, trim and sew the edges together.
Measure the width of your binding to create your overlap.
Pin the edges, right sides together, and stitch at 45 degrees.
(check that that it looks good, and then trim.)
Continue sewing the remainder of the seam to secure.
Now, flip the binding to the back of the quilt and pin it in place.
Because this quilt is puffy, youre going to hand stitch the binding.
Use an invisible stitch to secure the binding and verify your thread matches the binding.
Now, take one stitch through the flannel backing, top layer only.
Bring your needle directly through the binding fold, and continue with this method.
Your puffy quilt is now done.
