I like the way you show how it can be done on a table rather than the floor. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16944037367318503948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091736480399038102.post-36720004751166236352017-03-07T08:02:21.583+04:002017-03-07T08:02:21.583+04:00Well done!

I did try this technique and it doesn't work well with me. BUT, I did find a "trick of the trade" that really helped. Fold the backing in two, top to bottom. Pin the crease on both sides. Unfold and proceed the same way you usually do. Now repeat with the top. When spreading the top on the table, match the right pins together and the left pins together. It is a perfect alignment. I found it to be easier. But pinning is a big job. ;^)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091736480399038102.post-34141227557779827172017-03-06T16:21:47.903+04:002017-03-06T16:21:47.903+04:00Oh Astrid, what patience you must have!
