I put so much work into the tops, i'm afraid that I will mess them up and then all that work down the drain.
Any suggestions on how to get me out of my way so I can do some quilting on these tops? Thanks for any suggestions.

lol welcome Tammy. I am that way too. I love piecing, but quilting isn't my forte, although I do get it done with small projects. I've had a project sitting for two years and haven't done any quilting on it yet.

BUT...I found the batting that you can iron to the pieces and hold it still. It'll need some pins, but if you take it slow on small projects such as the baby quilts, it'll do fine. Just start in the center and move your way outward. Good luck!
