This is my first time to use Sharon Schamber's method and I'm loving it. I'm about 1/2 way done basting the queen size quilt that I made for my sister. So far, so good. I used to tape the backing, batting and top to the floor and crawl around and pin. I would procrastinate because I knew how painful it was going to be for me to do it, so I'm excited about this new way of doing things.

I have to tell you a funny, though. I'm a very visual person and I really had trouble not having everything laid out on the floor. First the backing was not long enough, then before I realized that, I cut the batting to match. Hence, both pieces were too small. Soooooo, I turned the backing to the longer dimension and added a "border" piece of fabric to the top of the backing. Then, of course, I had to piece the batting back together. All is well now, though. :lol: I'll let you know when I get to the other end of the quilt sandwich if everything comes out even.
