You must be beside yourself with excitement at finishing the quilt.
I just use regular pins, but I pin on the right side of the quilt so the pins are underneath when I sew. I pin so the ball comes at me first, not the point :-D ...less poking and thread tangling issues. The pins are on the opposite side from where you're sewing.
