Citrus county, i use the safety pin method to line up the middles but you do have to be careful that the layers are straight. I am working on my first over-sized queen quilt and it is a bear. I did not have enough backing because of a newbie mistake in measuring, so had to add fabric after it was sandwiched. I used 505 spray so it was easy to peel back and attach. I am STILL short, so am going to add coordinating fabric to the top for turn down like lovespaper did, so I am excited that it will still look good. Live and learn. This is for our bed so I can live with a few oops!
