Even more progress
The REALLY YELLOW quilt has now been added to, appliqued and, as of this morning, basted. Thread basted. Have I mentioned how I loath pin basteing? I don't think it holds everything well enough. I always thread baste in a grid with rows about 4" apart with stitches about 1/2" long just going across from one side to the other. I've never seen the logic in going from the centre out or from the centre to the corners. And I've never had a problem with pulling out the threads once they've been machine quilted over or with any shifting of the layers. At the moment I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to quilt it so no photos till its done.
