First problem I encountered was that I discovered I did not have enough fabric for my backing. So, I rushed over to the computer, did a search here for pieced backings, got some great ideas from you, and pieced my backing to my liking.

Then, I found that the piece of Warm & Natural batting I had was not wide enough. (are you seeing a common theme here? Note to self: buy extra!) No problem, searched again, found out how you have pieced backing together, followed your instructions & my batting was perfect.

Then, ready to start sandwiching my quilt top, batting, and backing, I searched again, made note of your tips and techniques, and armed with my can of Basting Spray (my new best friend!), I basted my quilt together! Easy peasy! What was I so afraid of?

Tonight I will be doing the quilt stitching & binding, so stop on by if you would like to quilt with me again. Hopefully I will have some pictures posted on Friday.

So, thank you for being there with me last night. Oh, and in case you didn't realize it, you pulled an all nighter. We were so into quilting that we didn't go to bed until 4am!

THAT'S why I don't feel rested this morning :roll: :lol:

What is the "glue and iron" method of binding? I haven't seen that.

I'm so glad to have found this quilt board. There are always great ideas and so many people willing to help. It never seems to take too much time to find answers here. I don't post too often but still come in and get so much information to get me through problems and new ideas. Thanks everyone.

I THOUGHT I felt someone in my aura last night when I was up from 1 until 4, even though you are on the west coast and I am on the east. I was organizing my stash and you were working on a quilt. Get those pictures to us as soon as you can. That has to be the most exciting part of this board, after tutorials, chat, recipes.......oh, that would be everything here!!

Let's hear it for whoever thought up this idea and put so much work into it being the most amazing website for quilters around!!! Thank you from the bottom of our little pea-pickin' hearts.....that was for Tennessee Ernie, LOL.!!!
