I've used both 505 and Sullivan's and like them both. Have never done spray basting on anything larger than a throw. Only spray on the fabric, doing about 1/2 of the top at a time. I hold a piece of cardboard around the edges when spraying to prevent overspraying. Keep your windows open. I'd wash the baby quilt before giving away to get the chemicals out. Try it, you'll like it.

It holds through the entire process. I've taken a project off the L.A. and leave it for 2-3 days and come back to it and it's held up as if I just basted that day.
It comes out in the wash after the first washing.
Note - If you use spray baste to hold down any templates for quilting (i.e. - acrylic templates) you will need to remove the spray baste from the templates with something like nail polish remover. Learned this the hard way ;-). Have fun!
