Quilting the Safari Nap Quilt


The latest throw quilt has been quilted! Please click on the photo above, take a close-up look at the quilting!  This was really fun to work on -- the smaller size makes such a difference.


After I found the YouTube about spray basting, I really wanted to give it a try.  Over the weekend I found the 505 brand at a local quilt shop and in less than one hour I: laid out the quilt back and taped it to the floor, spray basted the batt to the backing, spray basted the quilt top to the batt and cleaned up.  Amazing.


It is doubtful that I will every pin baste again.  Besides the time saving feature of the spray, since the "whole" surface is tacky the occasional pucker while quilting doesn't happen. How cool is that??
