I need to find one that he won't be able to smell. haha I have 3 seams to quilt on that quilt and then it will be ready for binding. I only pinned the outer border, no pins in the center at all and it did not shift.

You might want to spray outside. Some people tape a sheet to a garage wall to catch overspray. You can also lean a foam insulation sheet against a garage door. In any case, you never want to spray baste without good ventilation.

If you have access to a no baste quilt frame with the three or four poles that works great for basting and you can sit down in front of it. I bought a used Grace EZ frame just to use for basting.
