First add your border.
Then add wadding a good couple of inches overlapping all around.
Then add your backing, same size as your wadding.
The pin/baste all three layers every 3 or 4 inches. Start in the centre, and spiral the pins out from there.
Then do your FMQ as required, removing pins as necessary to achieve this.
Then trim and square all layers.
Then add your binding.

Exactly what Fajita said  :) the only difference I  make is...I spray baste with 505, and just pin the corners

Thank you @fajita @Lowena
So I gather the border is completely separate to the binding

I spray and pin!  It's looking really lovely, and the white border is going to bring it together beautifully.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Thankyou @Acorn

I’m going to add a white border but I’m not sure what colour binding would go with it

@Diane finish the top, layer and quilt it and then look at it. It will tell you what colour to use for binding (probably something you haven't got  :rolleyes:).

@Deafoldbat Thanks, I'm sure that will be the case, it would be most unfortunate if i had to go to the fabric shop to get some more fabric :laughing:

I now have the white sashing on all around and it's been ironed, layered and pinned, my what a workout that was. I had to pin it on the floor as the table wasn't big enough, god knows what it's like pinning a king size quilt  :faints:

A King size quilt is a nightmare to sandwich @Diane  that's what it is  :devil:
I either do it on the stripped bed or use the pool noodle method  :)
Yours is looking good

Can't help you with this at all I'm afraid @Diane . I can't get on with a walking foot and so I always hand quilt. I also prefer the look that hand quilting gives a quilt. I do big stitch quilting with Perle cotton number 8
