    Default Trying glue basting for the first time.
    I made this little scrappy quilt top for my granddaughter awhile back.
    Today hubby helped me glue baste it. This is my first time trying it and so far so good.
    We just drizzled the glue straight from the bottle and spread out any big blobs with our finger.
    I am going to let it dry overnight and quilt it tomorrow.

    Thanks, she will be 3 next month. I showed her the top the other day and she pointed out a bunny rabbit.

    Love all the color! I just glued my first one also. Just a small throw. 36". See some "glue lines" in it. Read here to also iron it. We'll see how it goes. Good luck with yours!
