Quiltilicious: I hear ya! I love everything about making a quilt, EXCEPT the quilting part...go figure :) No matter how much I fuss and check and re-check I always have an area on the backing that is not smooth. Of course it doesn't help if you have OCD...LOL I just sprayed with basting spray that I've had forever to put together a quilt I'm making for my grandson (I'm going to wash it before I give it to him) and I hate the way the spray "sticks" to everything...not just the sandwich!
