Sandwich Time

by Nicole

Things have slowed down enough for me to change the backing for my Children at Play quilt, which meant I could put my sandwich together and start basting.

I’m still thinking about how I want to quilt this one. You all know I love my straight lines! There will definitely be some of those. I just need to figure out how I want to incorporate them into the design.

I may add a bit of stippling to the fussy cut squares. And then there are the borders – those open spaces of quilting potential – I’m still deciding what to do with them. We’ll see…

Half the fun is figuring these things out!

Oh, so exciting waiting to see what you come up with! Do you spray baste as well, or just pin, pin, pin?

I love these little tastes and can't wait to see it all finished. I'm binding my Flea Market Fancy right now so I'm nearing a finish too!

It's such a beautiful quilt…(what I can see) and I'm looking forward to the quilting of this little gem! I love that you use the "pins". I switched over to using my flat headed flower stick pins and the pinmoors. I like it better as it is easier to remove as I quilt along!
