#106 – A Total Waste of My Time

I spent most of the afternoon pinning & re-pinning my quilt sandwich trying to get the middle seam of the quilt top to match up with the seam in the backing. It seemed to be spot on but once I sewed it they were still off. I see these beautiful quilt backs & can’t figure out how they get them to line up correctly with the quilting from the top. Maybe they just do free motion quilting & don’t worry about things lining up.

I did have a success though. I spray basted my quilt & absolutely love the results. I thought the spray would be messy but I had no spray over in my basement at all. My quilting went so much faster afterwards, no stopping to remove safety pins & make sure things are lying straight. I actually managed to get about 3/4ths of it done in just two hours with now puckers, yeah!
