My box from JOANN arrived yesterday. I now have batting for the blue quilt, yet more pins for basting, and more clamps for keeping the quilt rolls out of my way. Now, if I just had a couple more arms, and room for a floor stand, I’d be doing alright. Of course, more hours in my day would be extremely awesome as well.

So why did I need yet more pins? Here are some shots of me pinning out the purple quilt.

That’s my queen size bed it’s on, and I used all SIXTY of my pins. FTR, I think from now on, I will go with my first impulse and use the kitchen table. The book I read a couple of days ago indicated that it would be ok to slide the quilt around after you started pinning as long as you made sure your layers stayed wrinkle free. That shot of me stretched way out with one arm under the quilt?? Gotta tell you that did NOT help my hurt shoulder. At all. Not a bit.
