In May I took a day to baste some quilts in my church's basement. This was still when everything was in lock down/ quarantine - so I was quite by my lonesome, with just audio books to keep me company.
This was my hopeful pile. I brought as many tops and backings as I could get ready.
I don't know if I was planning to photograph every step - but this was the first one that I basted, my Christmas Angel Band quilt. I started with the largest/ones I wanted to get done first.
It was nice to have lots of space to spread out.
I borrowed my daughter's volleyball knee pads to baste - best idea I've ever had. For these quilts I did a combo of spray baste and some pins. I have a hard time trusting just spray baste....
This is the Elvira Quarantine Quilt Along quilt. Happy to say that I'm working on the binding now.
I got the two ugly quilts basted that day, which as you know they are done and dusted.
Houses from last year's Gridster Bee. Probably will quilt this one next. A little smaller, so a little faster?
By the end of the day, this was the done pile. At this point, 3 of the 6 are quilted. I didn't even have time to baste them all, so yes, I've still got some waiting in the wings!
Hi Rachel, I saw a picture of your positive negative violin quilt and fell in love with it. I searched forever trying to find a pattern. Finally found a link for Homespun Magazine and was able to purchase a digital copy of the magazine. Only the violin template, but no directions. I've made my fabric sttios and I'm ready to cutout. I hope it turns out az beautiful as yours. I want to post pictures of the quilt in a couple of Facebook quilt groups ghat I follow, but wanted to ask your permission before doing so since I didn't purchase a pattern because I couldn't find one. Thank you again for your lovely quilt. Linda Silber
