I can't think of anything other than what others have said, but I wanted to tell you they are both beautiful. I love the 3d effect of the top. I feel like I am looking into a ton of little boxes.

Hi,
A good friend of mine (a quilting judge) told me that after safety pinning my quilt sandwich and I'm ready to SITD use straight pins and pin across the seam. It will keep both top and bottom of quilt from shifting. I do this with my domestic machine and I put them in as I am sewing (about 7 to 9 pins) and them take them out and repin as I go. It has really worked for me. Hope this makes sense.

hi janw,
I only machine quilt, if that's how you're doiing it.
I pin baste, trying to not put pins where I'll be quilting. An for straight stitching, diagonal or in the ditch, I use my walking foot.
Use walking foot to sew on binding too.

Alex Anderson ran a small video online from her Simply Quilts show and she said that you have to pin about every four inches. I usually spray baste and then pin. Tape quilt on floor with painters tape, spray and then pin or thread baste.
