Take to the ironing board. Press on front side of quilt. I don't press on batting side, in case it melts. Open up layers so right sides of top are showing on front and right sides of backing are showing on the back. Batting will be in the center. Press. The seam will be lumpy. It doesn't bother me but you can trim out some backing from the seam allowances if you like.
