this is my red and blue quilt i done the drunkard path the circle is applique on i am basting that on my twin bed got a table leaf under it so i can slide it back and forth i got two big boards 7 feet long to hold the back and the front and got my batting in between got this off of you tube using tatting threads

Love the way you have it laid out Elsie, what a great way to baste a quilt!
Love the colors you choose!!
And all that hand work is so wonderful!

Great suggestion! I'll have to try that method on my next quilt, it'll save a lot of time!

saves the knees. I did everything on the floor prior to seeing this. Oh, and you can store the quilt sandwiches until you are ready to quilt them.

That is one nice quilt and you hand quilt?

yes she is the one i like it too it if fast and fun i doing this one on my bed cause my table is small

no i hand applique the curve on i am going to machine quilt it in the ditch

I never thought about the using the bed. Good idea!

my apartment is so little it two room and it narrow so i can't use the floor i been wanting to do this one night i was laying on my bed and said ok why not the bed my daughter had a old table and she let me have the leaf out of it, it works my bed is a twin

Necessity; the mother of quilting solutions ;-)

Great idea. I also like Schamber's video and tried it on my last baby quilt. I was able to do it on the table as the quilt was small. It was great to baste this way and I ended up doing the machine quilting myself too. I love Schamber's binding video. I, too, am learning so much from her. Let us see how your quilt looks after quilting!

Thank you for this info. My basting always left something to be desired :(

I also am going to try this method as I am getting tired of crawling on the floor especially with larger quilts Thanks for the link to this info. Every one is so generous about sharing on this board thanks again it's a wonderful group!

i am glad i help some one it make me feel good and if i ever see anything else that might help i will post it , thank you all

I loved this video! I had my sweet husband make me 2 rails from 8ft stock, luckily I have an 8ft table in my sewing room. If you haven't tried it with water soluble thread, you should; it's more slippery than tatting thread, but it washes out & tatting doesn't. one less step.

Love your quilt

thank you i will try that the next time

I love this method, tried it on my last quilt, certainly is a back and knee saver! :-D

Your quilt is beautiful!!! :D:D:D
