Basting the behemoth

The top is 86" x 110". Since I don't have a space near big enough to lay it all out, I'm having to baste it in sections. Wish me luck on that!

getting ready for basting across my bedroom floor
Fortunately, it's too late for me to chicken out because it is currently laid out across my bedroom. So now I have to finish it before I go to bed. Unfortunately, it is already 10 pm. Methinks it is going to be a late night. And my back is probably not going to thank me in the morning. But-- I'll have a basted quilt!

    I don't envy you at all, but the results are sure going to pay off. It's a beautiful quilt top.

    I know you will do a great job. I have a monster to pin too when I go on vacation. I am going to head over the the quilt shop and borrow their pin table. There is no way I would do it on the floor, I think my back would break. LOL!

    This is going to be so amazing! Even though I only see a corner of your bed, I can tell it is beautiful :)
