I usually do mine on my livingroom floor. I put the backing down (wrong side up) and use masking tape to keep it sMooth. Then batting followed by top. Then I pin.

My dinning room table with the leafs in holds a king size.

Never thought of hanging it on the wall. I usually do a portion at a time.

I actually like that idea. Wish I'd of thought of that with all the "human" traffic at my house.

what an excellent idea! I have a 4' x 8' table on my front porch and it is the only place big enough to work...I can't get on my floor.
lol...my floor is clean...it's my body that won't cooperate.
I could have hubby make me this so I could lay the center on the table, then fold it up! thanks :XD:

Have you tried the Sharon Chambers method? It is on her website. Using her method you just need a table to work on....I really like the method and think that it is much quicker.

BTW, I am a school principal and have no problem when people want to come to the school after hours to use our tables in either the library, lunchroom or art room.

Great ideas everyone! I go to the club house or just use the living room floor.....

This is a very nice offer.... if I ever come through Georgia, with a quilt that needs basting....I know who to look up!

Sharon Shamber has a great way to pin her quilts, she has a tutorial on You Tube also on her website. I watched the tutorial and did exactly how she shows and I can now pin my quilt sitting down at the dining table.
