Do you have a garage or carport? Lay down and old sheet or something then lay your quilt on it. I had to move furniture so I could pin baste my 100" x 85" quilt.

You can do this sized quilt in sections on a table top. Start in the middle and work your way out. I have seen utubes on this technique. They are pinned or spray basted. Yes, it take a little extra time, but most people are happy with it. I think one of the 'quilters' that shows this is Eleanor Burns. Go to her site quiltinaday.com and go to her video sections. I'm sure it is in there somewhere. I'd get it for you but I need to head out the door for work....

Then there is pin basting, but we don't have the floor space, table space, any space to put it on so that I can get the darn thing sandwiched.

Does anybody have ideas on how/where I should go to get enough room to lay this thing out sothat I can finish it. I forgot to mention, putting this on a floor (which there isn't a 10 foot square area on the floor) is not an option. I have a cat, and I have a cocker spaniel. Both would be trying to 'help.'

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Lucky me, I have access to our church's social hall and as many tables as I need.
