I am finally back to work this week and all the kiddos have returned to school. I spent the day sandwiching and basting the biggest piece I have in the work basket.
With the last bit of machine quilting I did, I quilted a huge wrinkle in it. Obsessive as I am, I ripped out all that stitching and re-basted. So, with this piece, I wanted to ensure it remained wrinkle free.
I might have overdone it on safety pins though. You can laugh but I have no time to rip things out this spring!
This has a lot of promise! Can’t wait to see how you quilt it!
I have been basting with stick pins for a while now, but I may have to return to my trusty safety pins after seeing how my last two pieces turned out.
I am curious, do you use a walking foot?
Colleen, I can’t wait to see this quilt finished. It’s really wonderful!
This looks terrific, Colleen. I gave up pins years ago and only use Mountain Mist’s fusible batting. It is a joy! I think some other manufacturer makes it now, too. The batting is soft and thin and makes life soooo easy.
Look forward to seeing the finished piece
