YES - it's off to jail for you!! While you're gone, please leave the key under the mat so that I can come steal your quilt. (I don't give a darn how you did it -- I just love it).

You don't want to leave the papers in Basting that does not show is stritly your business. anywhere I baste, I only remove it if it interferes with the finished product, making it bunchy or whatever.

As Jennifer said, your quilt, your rules. The only quilt police I know of are show judges. Fleurs de Grand-mère looks very good. Tres bien.

ok, if your basting won't show on the final product we'll let you leave it in since it's your quilt ;-) LOL

I do the same. As soon as the hexagone is surrounded I take it out. It is the basting thread that I'm not sure. Do you leave yours in?

My basting thread is holding the paper in so yes I snip the thread and remove the paper to be used again :)

That is what I didn't understand and now I do thanks to all of you who answered my question. You have to take it out if the basting holds the paper. I do mine with freezing paper that I iron on the back and my basting is only in the seam allowance so I can leave it. YES!!
