I forgot about this method that Sharon Schamber demos. I think it looks great, BUT if you have anything bigger than a lap, I dont know where I would be able to manuever boards large enough...that is part of the problem..space. Even if I got the large boards, I would need to try to haul them in a car to a library or school.
I saw a method somewhere that looked great. She did it all on a wall(I think she had applied ceiling tiles to the wall), put up newspapers and spray basted the whole thing. I cant remember where, but once again I dont have the wall space to do a large one.

I've been putting off layering my Australian fabric quilt top for a few weeks now. shame on me, but i just hate doing that and the quilting too. it's only 70x70 so I should be able to finish it, just dont' feel like it.
i've been trying to find someone to come give me an estimate on "mud jacking" my long concrete porch back into position. we have clay in the ground here and things shift badly.

Might be a problem for a king or queen but I think it would work for pretty much anything else.

I agree. Once I've pieced the quilt top I want to move on to the next one. Sandwiching and quilting are my least favorite quilt 'chores'. Therefore I have a lot of quilt tops aka flimsies hanging on my upstairs railing for me to see and enjoy.
On youtube, someone showed a wonderful way to sandwich a quilt top with basting spray on a design wall, using a sheet to protect from 'over spray' , saving your back / knees from the strain of doing it on the floor... I'm lucky enough to have a large design wall but haven't tried it yet.
