Big Undertaking
When I started my master quilt, I did so knowing it was going to be a challenge. I'd never made a king-size quilt before, never used the true quilt sandwich method, never had to baste anything so large.
Drawing lines for quilting with a little help from Hitch.
Luckily I have an awesome mother-in-law who is always excited to help.
Our innovative smooth and pin work positions.
She borrowed a million safety pins and a cool pin-closing tool from a quilter friend and came over today to help me work.
Nifty safety pin closer thingy to save our fingers.
She's teaching me the tricks she's learned - start in the middle, don't baste the whole quilt at once so you can resmooth after doing a section of the quilting, roll tightly so it fits in your machine... I'd be struggling so much more without her help!
It is still a huge project, but just working with someone else makes it so much better!
