I tried this method a couple weeks ago. It is a little easier, but there's still a lot of bulk even without the batting in that section. I used the spray basting, which I love, no problem, had labeled the right/left side of the batting, but had a little trouble lining up the cut edge to the corresponding edge. I haven't decided if I like that method, I have another big one to do, but will mark my design on it, instead of just FM. This was my first experience with this method, so it may get easier.

Can you remember the name of the technique? I am having trouble finding it!!

Marylou is still on the board, I would love to hear if she is still doing this method!

I have a {JoAnn's} table that opens up to expand it. After assembling one quilt {on the floor}, sore back and all, I opened up my JoAnns table and basted my log cabin quilt in sections, starting in the middle of the quilt and then just moving the quilt on the table in sections until the whole thing was basted. It came out beautifully with no bunches on the back. You can get these tables at JoAnn's Fabric and use one of their 50% off coupons so it comes to about $59.00 half price. The table will "fold up" as you can let down the sides and it becomes very compact for storing.

Thank you Marylou, I think I will try it maybe on a smaller quilt to start with........it's a bit scary for a first time, especially when you have put so much work into a large quilt.
Thank you to everyone for any help you were able to give me. :D
