Everybody's Got Their Method and Here's Mine

There are as many ways to temporarily make a quilt stay together as there quilters. Here's the way I do it. This is my Deck Basting Method. You need masking tape, safety pins, and a deck. First you tape down the backing (wrong side up), then you tape down the batting, and finally tape down the top. Caution: This method does not work well in areas where there are many birds overhead and lousy weather does impede your progress.

The real beauty of this method is in the pinning. The spaces between the deck boards are just the right size for the pins to go between! Voila! You have a quilt in bondage, ready to quilt....Which is what I'm doing now...This is due in 2 weeks. Yikes!

I would have never thought of this. Brilliant. Sandwiching is certainly not one of my favorite steps.
