    I would suggest batting. Spray basting is a great idea. Since you mentioned Leah Day.... she does not lower her feed dogs.... I don't either. It doesn't seem to make a difference to me.

    Thank you for all your kind comments. The whole quilt was done on the bias so it was very difficult to line things up. I just had to stop trying to make it perfect and get it done!!

    I just learned 2 new terms to help remember

    bump up the front--bumpy side faces quilt top
    baggy bottom---bigger quilt block when matching seams goes on the bottom

    What else???!!

    It would be fun to be able to have a list of helpers.
