I thought of spray basting, but I had a bad experience with spray basting. It looked good for about a year after the quilt was finished and then it turned yellow! So I got out my other quilts that I had used different spray basting, and they all to some degree were turning yellow inside the quilt. So I no longer use the stuff. I suppose if you dont use white fabric or light fabrics it would be ok. Generally I lean towards quilts with lots of white.
