Advice Needed on Basting Quilt
Hi Everyone! I am mainly a "lurker" on the QB and have only posted a couple of times. I learn something new from the fine and friendly folks on this Board nearly every time I check in and that is why I've come to you for advice.
The attached photos are of my third quilt. The first two were quilt-as-you-go, but this one is done traditionally. The pattern is Boxed Cubes which I found on the internet. The quilt top fabrics are cottons and light weight denim. The quilt back is corduroy and light weight denim. My question is about basting the quilt sandwich. I'm leaning towards glue basting with Elmer's Washable School Glue. Since I've never used this method (or any other for that matter) and on such a large quilt (90" x 90") I'm wondering if you folks think this method will work. I've done research on the Web and read a lot of the glue basting tutorials here at QB, but I'd like to hear your personal experiences -- good and bad. I look forward to your suggestions and helpful hints on using glue or other quilt basting methods that you have used. Thank you so much, in advance, for your time and responses.
