Considering that I, novice (meaning never done it!) quilter extrordanair, am racking up quilt tops without battings, backings, or bindings, I figured its time to actually quilt one. My three in progress quilt tops happen to be one for a baby which I started for a baby shower in December 2012, and two which I have agreed to donate for an auction for my sons school, with a march deadline. One of those two is finished, the other I was waiting to start until I got these first two little projects quilted.
Teensy tiny problem. Apparently I suck at this part.
Firstly, I decided the easiest way to spray baste this thing would be to throw it up on my design wall and spray away. (Opening the window first of course. Because of the use it outside only warning, duh!) The two feet in from of and around my wall are now incredibly sticky. Woopsy. That explains the outdoors warning. You don't even want to see the bottoms of my feet right now. I figure I'll just roll with it for as long as I'm hanging out in my craft room tonight.
Next up, getting the front attached to the batting. Now... Where the hell is my tape? Oh yeah, it's effing GONE. Gone. Gone. Gone. I tore apart my room. My husband tore apart the rest of the house. We don't have any freaking tape. I tried to get the two pieces attached anyway. Nope. Not gonna happen. Sticky, crinkly, yucky mess.
Current progress in basting baby quilt together?
In a sticky heap on the shelf.
Guess it's time to start piecing top number three instead. :/ maybe tomorrow I'll find my tape, and the courage to try again. Maybe I'll take pictures that time. Considering most people that blog also put pictures with their words?...
