But I do have problems finding a space in the house to lay out the larger quilts to measure for borders. I finally rearranged the living room furniture so there is room for my larger quilts (don't tell my family that, they think I was just tired of the old configuration).

I made her a single enlarged nail polish for her annual birthday card this year and she loved it. I don't dare show her you quit or she'll make me make it for her! She's 31 years old now, by the way, and her Instagram site has to do with her incredibly decorated and fun fingernails!Rabid Quilter from Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838215045002688885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-23472741613588991512016-10-17T07:50:31.535-07:002016-10-17T07:50:31.535-07:00I love this fun pattern with the fun colors!

Or I can set them up in our garage for spray basting. Either way it is a lot of work. Your solution sounds good.

The quilt was still to wide so I had fold a portion of one side and do the center and other side first. If my quilts are less than 72" wide, I use my 6' folding table and boards or pipe insulation and Sharon Scrambler's YouTube video.<br />Good luck!!krisgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155206979888079745noreply@blogger.com
