I've been working on my baby girl quilt today. I was able to piece the back, make the sandwich and get it mostly quilted. I'll work the quilting a little bit more when my daughter goes to sleep - if she ever goes to sleep - tonight.
Here are some photos of the progress:

This is my second time using the spray baste and the brand that I used doesn't stop the pieces from shifting. I'm not really happy with it. Also, it smells horrible and I even used it in a very well ventilated room. I don't know - I'm not impressed so far. I suppose I still needs some more practice using it. I'm stitching on the diagonal and then 1/4" away from that line. I'm using a pink thread on the top and the bobbin - I like to be able to see the stitches. I may add another quilting line, but I haven't decided yet. I'll add the binding tomorrow and have a completed, small quilt for Friday! Whoo hoo!

What a pretty little girl's quilt! I agree with you- I don't like spray basting at all. The only thing I use it for is holding my label in place while I stitch it. I never get the same pucker-free results with spray basting as I get with good old-fashioned pins.

My favorite basting is with straight pins and Pinmoors. Quick and easy to pin and to REMOVE. Love them.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is too sweet.
