A quilted and squared-off 12-block quilt (now I understand why giving someone a quilt is the greatest gift you could possibly give--it takes FOREVER to complete one, and after that kind of labor of love, only really special people deserve the product of your efforts).
Then, I matched some backings with quilt tops....
I almost took off a finger (see the gear on the right--the black knobby thing--well, it's not my friend right now).
And I discovered an awesome trick when basting a quilt so your fingers aren't screaming in pain from having to pin all of those pins.... Use a flathead screwdriver....
Then use the flathead screwdriver to brace the pin as it comes through the fabric and use the flathead to help you clasp the pin. I am sure someone has thought of this before, but it was a great moment for me when I figured this out....
Back to work. I have that basted Lollipop quilt with my name on it.
Happy Saturday!
