Wow thanks for sharing. Great idea and great pattern. How long did that take to make? Pretty.

What a wonderful idea!! My question though is how did you keep the spray basting off the wall? I generally use my cutting table to do this and then I have to clean it to get the sticky off -- which is not a bad thing since the table gets a "good" cleaning this way.... :D

I haven't had a problem with overspraying using the 505 spray. I tend to aim inwards as I spray and if there are sections along the outer edge that needs extra spray I pull it back and spray into the quilt.

It is MUCH easier to control the spray when you're standing!!!

My sisters and I each did one during our Sisters' Week. We cut one day and pieced our strata. Then the next day we sewed the bargello. It was fun but it is a one of a kind! Never again!

Mamagus,

Is there a husband at your house and if so how did he take to you taping his walls? I love your idea but am scratching my head as to how to make it fly past the husband.

I used the blue painter's tape and since it is only there for short time, he's fine with it!

If it's an issue wait until he's gone to do the first one... believe me it is so quick and easy, he'll never know!

I am going to give this a try!!! :D :D Thank you for the idea!!! :D :D

I have carpeting on the floors of my available walls...I think that I will put down a disposable drop cloth/newspaper. I am going to try holding a strip of cardboard along the edge of the quilt... to keep the over spray off of the walls.

My knees and back are already telling me thank you!!! 8) 8) 8)

Great ideas - first to spray into the quilt and second to hold a piece of cardboard at the edge.
