Just finished last night, might still quilt in first border. This is a 2010 BOM and I spray basted it on my king sized bed by myself in less than one hour. It measures 108x120. I covered the bed with a large flannel sheet to catch over spray. My quilty friends love to come here to layer their quilts with spray basting. We mostly use June Tailor and have never experienced gummy needles/machines. Just spray sparingly and let dry. Quilted completely on my domestic machine all by myself.

Quilt on floor, ignore rug fringe

Thank you. I just hope all those quilters out there with bad knees and backs are motivated to try the spray basting and get up off the floors.

Good for you, it's very nice. How long did it take you to quilt it? I'm working on a t-shirt quilt about 48 x 48 and I'm a bit scared to tackle it. Any advice you can share since it may still be fresh in your mind?
