I am making my first quilt to showcase my grandaughter's art and have finished the quilt top. I haven't basted it yet, but when I lay it on top of the backing, there is only one inch to spare on the top and bottom of the quilt. I was planning on spray basting, but I'm afraid that by the time I get to the bottom of the quilt, all the smoothing I will do to get wrinkles out will cause the quilt top to extend beyond the backing. Then I'm afraid I would be in a real fix because they are now stuck together!

What are the chances I have enough? Should I start planning a pieced quilt back to allow for more room?

I'm trying to attach a picture. Hope it works.

Thanks for your help!
