    You might try fusible batting, pin what you can of the back to the ironing board dover, fuse the area and then move to the next are. You could put plastic on your garage wall and then use spray adhesive. Borrow a friend's floor?

    Your quilt looks great! I don't have a huge table, either, so I baste in sections. I start with the middle clamped down to the table and baste what is on top. Then I unclamp and move the quilt to one side section and repeat the process. Then it's the other side's turn. I do the top and bottom of the quilt the same way. Sometimes it takes 3 movements of the top and bottom, depending on the size of the quilt. I couldn't do it on my knees, so that is the next best thing.

    I think that it's charming. Your grandson will not care about the puckers, he'll just love it to death.

    What a lovely quilt! I wouldn't worry about wandering off the line! Spray basting came to my mind too, I never tried it though.

    Your quilt is adorable. I wonder if you were using a walking foot? That foot will help the layers move together under the needle. I spread my quilts on the carpet and spray the layers. Always spray the top & bottom, not the batting.

    Very cute quilt. Don't sweat the small stuff, if we all only accepted perfection none of us would complete anything.

    Love your quilt. It is beautiful work and I wouldn't worry about puckers either. Warm and cosy is more important. I also use spray basing which works great. I actually bought a large generic brand and have done several quilts with it. There is still enough left to do a couple more. I hate pinning and love this method.
