An hour of this
is extremely
rewarding.
Though you can bet I’ll be whining about the soreness tomorrow, because pin basting a 100″ x 106″ quilt is one of the toughest workouts evah.

Lovely!!! I am in great envy of that space on a carpeted floor. That is the way I do it too but I usually pin first and then baste … about five or six hours running. That is going to be a real treasure.

I am fortunate to have a large place to lay out quilts, I know not everyone is. Here in Michigan we have a lower level and ours is a TV game room so lots of space, once I move some of the clutter out of the way….. 100 quilts later and now I find out I may be doing it all wrong?!! I have never thread basted a quilt, in my life. Am I supposed to be doing that, too???

That quilt will be beautiful, and it is wonderful that you can quilt it yourself. I am finishing up a 96 x 109 top and I am taking the beast to someone to quilt. All of your hard work will be worth it!

I will wrestle this one myself. I’ve never sent a quilt out. Yet. I get so excited to see them finished, I can definitely see the intrigue in it!

What a beautiful quilt! I baste with needle and thread, but probably both come with aches and pains. I never thought to use safety pins, good idea.

I can’t say I have ever thread basted. I ‘m sure my quilt would be permanently stitched to the carpet!

Hi! That is going to be gorgeus quilt! I love hexagons and those colours are ao delicious and fresh! I pin baste, too and read a while ago that spoon helps a lot?! I thought how can I use a spoon? but then I thought why not to try if some has found it helpful and it really was a good idea!
