The Guys were most amused as I crawled around on the kitchen floor, taping fabric to the floor. I've realised that my kitchen floor which currently still has vinyl on it (rather than polished wood as with the rest of the house) is the perfect place to baste quilts. I can masking tape it to the floor and jab the pins in without worrying about damaging the floor boards.
Although I felt I'd basted really well, there was still some 'drag' during the quilting. I only had one small pucker appear which I was able to remove easily with just a little unpicking.
Hopefully I should have the bulk of the quilting finished today. I can't sit for long periods at the machine to quilt as my shoulders tense terribly and it's so hot here especially with a big quilt sitting in your lap!
Finally, this is a little quilt I made up yesterday for my nephew Ezra. His Mum & Dad lost most of their belongings in the flood so I thought a cute quilt might cheer them up a bit. They are doing ok, the house was a rental, and they have been overwhelmed with donations of furniture etc.
