Sew fabric together.

Press seam towards the dark side (see what I did there? The "Dark Side"? hahaha!)

With your walking foot, stitch around the additional side panels to define them. Tie off the threads, and bury them.

Trim the curve along the top with scissors.
-
Bind, using two-colored binding if you prefer. Make sure to use bias-cut binding along the curve.

If you want a Star Wars inspired quilt hanger, paint your words yellow, then fill in the center with black paint. Use string and pins to hang your quilt.
