DH made me basting frames. They are 4 1X2 boards with fabric strips attached. The boards sit on 4 posts which are tall enough that I do not have to bend over while basting. Saves the ole back. The boards are attached to the posts by C clamps. I pin the quilt to the fabric strips and baste as far as I can reach. Then roll the basted area around the boards and baste again. I continue until I have reached the other end. If you have a "basting party" with friends, you can work from both ends at the same time and meet in the middle of the quilt. Much faster.

I have used the wall by attaching the quilt to the wall at the top and basted away. Gravity is your friend.
