I basted my project last night. This is the project that I had so much trouble with getting the pattern enlarged and printed. Everything went wrong with it for a while. I've learned so much on this project. It's a wall hanging and not large, but it is my largest project so far. Even though everything went wrong, I fixed it, and it is looking good! (If I do say so myself!--Pictures promised soon! I was having issues with my computer not wanting to accept my pictures).

Now, I need help with basting. When I basted it, I guess I did it upsidedown. I put the quilt top face down on the bottom and the backing on top. I really don't know why. We'll blame it on tiredness. Anyway, I basted pretty well (well as in that it holds together well and I basted fairly close together), but I have some puckers. Most are toward the outside. Should I re-baste this thing or just work the puckers out as I quilt from the center?

I just basted using thread. No sprays involved.

Thanks in advance for your help.
