I have always quilted in the ditch and that works for most any pattern but I don't know about the batting as I always use regular batting

I use 505 Basting Spray and love it. I'm not a fast quilter so my projects lie around for awhile and get moved around. The spray held fine over a period of several months. I also pin quite heavily around the outside edge of my quilts. Not much help on what quilting pattern to use because I always have the same problem trying to figure out what to do. Your quilt is going to be very nice. :-)

Watch Sharon Schamber's tut on You Tube, titled How to baste your quilt (or something close to that). It shows how to sandwich your quilt without a large table, without getting down on the floor, and you will have no wrinkles. Also it is very fast. I am sure you could use basting spray and it really would be fast, 15-20 min maybe. You will wonder why everyone doesn't do it her way.

I use the fusible batting when I make table runners and tote bags. I love it. I have had good luck with it. I do not think I would use it on a quilt. That would be to hard. Love your quilt. Is it Card Trick? I want to make that one.

I would stitch in the ditch. I've been doing that lately and it makes a lovely quilt.

I use Hobbs Fusible 80/20 all the time for quilts done on my domestic machine. It fuses well and can be repositioned if necessary( tuck in back, etc) I do hit it with a little steam after I'm happy with the sandwich. I think it helps the temporary bond. I think the operative word is "little". After quilting and binding the temp. fusible washes out in the laundry leaving a soft cotton feel to your project.
