I know how you feel. My very first free motion quilted quilt was a QUEEN! It sat, all sandwiched and basted, for a year and a half before I got up the courage. A friend of mine finally told me to just go for it and showed me how to do it. What I did was just start in the middle with the quilt "puddled" around my needle instead of rolled up. It's much easier and less stiff. Yours is crib sized, so it should be that much simpler to do. Take a deep breath and give it a go... you can do it! :thumbup:
