Am I missing something? What is with the boards? You could much easier and faster have laid that backing out flat, then the batting, then the top, without winding and unwinding off and on those boards!

I use spare beds to baste whenever I can... but I spray baste as much as possible so I don't have to worry about pinning or stitching down through the bed. The last time I had a really big quilt, I had to layer it on my driveway! I swept it as clean as possible, first. Had to have hubby's help as we peeled back layers, sprayed the spray baste, and then pulled the layers back over and made sure they were smooth. But even that didn't take nearly as long as prepping a quilt for quilting as shown in this video.
