Easy, easy, ea...I'm in the spray basting camp. Easy, easy, easy - driveway or pool deck easy - now that it's cooler out. I also have an old shower curtain liner that I use when I'm to impatient to wait for daylight, and choose to spray indoors. I just put it in the washer with a load of towels to remove the stickiness. I've pinned one large quilt and still haven't quilted it because I imagine it's going to be a nightmare. Recently, I decided I was going to unpin that same quilt and spray it. <br /><br />You know how much I love your Modern Maples. I think your fabric selection was perfect, even if your fabric line was Juggling Summer.SeeLifeMarvelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969916228151073760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398220462868517600.post-80399059960571822182013-10-17T09:30:54.756-05:002013-10-17T09:30:54.756-05:00I love the borders on that Bento quilt.

The extra squares should work well on the back, though.Alice in WVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901875340513968855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398220462868517600.post-82269160537801355262013-10-16T22:22:55.719-05:002013-10-16T22:22:55.719-05:00It's great to see all your so-close-to-being-f...It's great to see all your so-close-to-being-finished quilty projects! Love the colors in the Bento Box, and the diamond-star quilt is charming. Did you machine-piece all those Y seams?! I have pin-basted for years. It's my go-to method. I use a Kwik Klip though, to close the pins, so that saves the wear on your fingertips. I swear, I must have a thousand pins. Need that many to baste the queen-plus-size quilts! I have now used one can of 505 basting spray and have another at the ready. I really like it for small and large quilts. I'm concerned about spraying in the house though. I wrote a post about how I used it, here: http://flourishingpalms.blogspot.com/2013/07/lifes-bloom-in.htmlFlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398220462868517600.post-36094763741509787522013-10-16T14:58:16.436-05:002013-10-16T14:58:16.436-05:00ooooh that bento box quilt!

The color riot is awesome.<br />(3) I have always used 505 (the quilt store where I took my beginner class taught us to baste this way). I wouldn't dare to do anything else. I suppose the advantages are speed (lightning fast) and adhesion (every single millimeter is secure). I don't open any windows or doors, and I don't have any problem with fumes. Of course, what we don't know may always hurt us. But I don't baste a quilt too often -- maybe once every couple of months at best! -- so I think I'm all right. I baste on my kitchen peninsula. It's big to be sure, but I would never baste on the floor (ouch!! I'm TOFTS*). I'd use one or even two resin fold-away tables if I didn't have a nice big counter. <br /><br />*Too Old for That --Tennjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397113148008290316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398220462868517600.post-6450243199646176762013-10-16T10:01:42.892-05:002013-10-16T10:01:42.892-05:00Love the maple leaf top! =)

I use a modified Sharon Schamber's board basting method and use basting spray instead of pins - much quicker than pin basting and a lot easier on my knees and back!
