Thank you!

I must admit the basting is the part of quiltingmaking I don't like. Therefore I don't baste very close - the rows are have a distance of ca. 20 cm (8 inches). Most quilts I only baste in one direction. So please don't take that as a rule!
:oops:

But there is one thing I really do: I start in the middle of the quilt and smooth the fabric to the open edges very, very often.
