I like the technique. I have no dogs, but I use a cat! It still works just fine. Check avatar.

Yes, that's the reason! I don't remember who to give credit to for this, but I read in someones blog to slide a marble under the layers to lift them off the floor. Makes pinning so much easier and saves the floor!
I use a ping pong ball

:D

Looks like your buddies are either supervising or taking a break. What a great picture:)

Meant to tell you your quilt is quite attractive. Like the one on the back of the couch, too. But, I was too busy checking out your help:):):)
