    First off, in order to sandwich my quilt I have thumb tacked the backing fabric to the wall and will pin the batting and top to that. I lack the nessicary floor or tabletop space to sandwich a quilt of this size. When I got the backing on the wall I noticed it was wrinkled. I had ironed it the other nigt and it got wrinkled just sitting folded up in my room for the last couple days (at least it wasn't as bad as it was before I ironed it the first time). Refused to take the backing off the wall.......so here I am literally ironing the wall to get the wrinkles out of my backing fabric. I'm hoping no one walks in because I probably look like I'm not the brightest crayon in the box right now. lol.

    I've never thought to tack one to the wall. I don't have wall space either, in an rv my floor space is very limited. What I have been doing is making my quilts in 2 pieces and then putting them together. My nephew is supposed to be taking some pictures of 2 of my quilts. I will post as soon as he gets them to me.
