Getting my blue circle quilt off the design board

I think I started the blue circle quilt a long time ago but I had it on the design wall last year in the hopes of getting it done for Christmas but I finally took it off the design wall with some good idea of what I will quilt on it.

I think it will be a couple of traditional but skewed designs....
But I am getting ahead of myself - first I pieces some quilt batt.



I just butt the edges together as best I can and use the wavey zigzag on my machine although I am sure a regular zigzag would work too.  It helps if I use the rotary cutter to straighten the edges.


Then I spring for the 505 spray basting.  I get mine at Fabricland.  It's made in France - who knew but is waaay better than the Fabricland brand.  I used the Fabricland (Unique I think ) brand for the Row Along quilt.  It worked but it wasn't as stable as this stuff - and it stunk more.

The Row Along is Basted

My DH helped me out this morning and we spray basted the layers together on the basement floor.  It worked really well.  Quick too.  Especially with the help.

Row Along, Row quilting, butterflies, baskets.
 One step closer to DONE!
