Oddly - I normally use a basting spray for smaller projects - but decided to pin baste this one. Don't ask me why-LOL! Maybe when I 'm done pulling stitches, I'll pull out the can of basting spray. I usually don't use flannel as a quilt back, but it's a baby quilt and the printed flannel went so well with my other fabrics I just couldn't resist. I thought it would be nice and snuggly for a little one. If this went well, I was considering doing a larger flannel backed lap quilt for my father-in-law who is always cold. I guess his quilt will not be backed in flannel!!!
