[QUOTE=sligman;5548755]I have recently moved from this huge military house where I had tons of rooms to spread out my quilts on the floor to bast them and tape down the backing and all that goes along with it now were retired and live in a really tiny apartment and have no room in any hardwood floor room and the biggest room i
I solved this problem a few years ago, my solution was to put extra box springs on my bed, that raised it up so that I would not have so far to bend over to pin my quilts.
You you lay a cutting mat on your bed, then you pin the backing onto your bed at the corners. then the batting then the top. Just reach under the quilt and slide the mat to where you are pinning or basting your quilt, so that you don't pin or baste to your bed, your quilt sandwich stays tight till your finished pinning.
And it's easier to get out of the bed in the morning. And easier to make the bed.
