Isn't it great how we can all share what we know & how we do things?
QE - how did ya do the bastin' o' the baby quilt & how did it go?

Thanks QNS & OK for all the info about tyein' quilts.

I'm pretty tired tanight.
I've spent most o' taday pressin' fabric for my DNiece's baby. I'm makin' WOF square blankets. I fold the edges twice & do a decorative stitch. Sounds easy. First I gotta git 'em square, then the edges wont stay folded while I sew. So I use........glue. I've been makin' these blankets for baby's in the family for years, (over 20 years anyway.) Well taday I had an ah-aw moment. Those corners are thick & hard ta sew through. 6 layers. It just occurred ta me that I can cut 2 sm squares out o' the corners & make it 4 layers. Yikes! Where has my brain been all this time. Well I'm almost finished so I had better git back at it. I'll sew 'em tamarrow at the "sit & sew" hosted at the Quiltin' Patch.
