What a glorious day we had here yesterday; seventy-eight degrees and sunny. I should have been gardening! But I decided to baste my cubic rhythm quilt that I finished back in July! There are three methods, that I know of, to baste your quilt.
1. Hand baste - time consuming and your free motion foot gets caught in the thread. Then after you are all done, you have to pull out all of the basting.
2. Pin baste - time consuming, can't sew over the pins and you have to remove the pins as you go.
3. Spray baste - my favorite! Fairly fast and nothing to remove. AND I did it out on the deck yesterday!
I used three tables, I think next I would like to use 4 folding tables. This quilt is 65 inches square. Laying it out on the tables sure beats laying it out on the living room floor! Now all I have to do it figure out how I'm going to quilt it. I think something to do with flowers and feathers!
Well, Color Me Quilty!
