This is a twin-size quilt I made for a benefit auction. I had been using Sharon's method for basting with the boards but still always managed to get a wrinkle or pleat. This one here was glue-basted with the Elmers school glue, using the bottle as it was bought. No special tip or nothing. It turned out beautifully and has not a one, wrinkle, pleat... nothing. I "basted" it using a 4" grid, on both sides of the batting while it hung on the design wall. Took maybe 2 hours to do both sides, left it hanging overnight then quilted. I highly recommend this method, and will be using it from here on out.
1st is quilting-in-progress
2nd is front after quilting complete
last is back after quilting complete. (Wet spot on back is from spraying with water to remove marking.)
