I just finished the YBR top :) Thank you for the help with the border size.... Anyhow as I was hanging on my rack of tops to quilt... I discovered that not only is that poor rack over flowing, but that there is nine quilt tops sitting it... help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol. I love to make the tops but lack some serious motivation for the sandwhiching of the quilt. I dont mind hand quilting though I am not that good at it, but sandwhiching and machine quilting hold no inspirations for me... how do I save me from myself, and work through this pile of tops??? lol

I have 2 that are sandwiched. Maybe I'll get to those once we are semi-settled in our new-to-us home.

If you don't have the Harriet Hargrave book on Machine quilting you might want to buy that. It is a lot of help. I bet you can get an older copy on Half.com for a good price.

Pick one. Go to work or the library or wherever there is a big conference table. Invite your quilty friends to a basting party and promise to buy them lunch.

This plan has worked for me in the past.

Post a note at the shop - see if there is any interest in get- togethers. Maybe you can get a group going, and take turns helping each other out?

Basting friends don't have to be quilters or even sewers. Our group at church had a dedicated group of volunteers that only basted. Most of our quilts were queen size. We would put two or three eight foot folding tables side by side. We have extensions for the legs made from PVC pipe. (One pipe for each leg but be sure all pipes are cut the same length. Slip the pipe over the end of the leg. The cross bar between the legs on each end would stop the pipe. It doesn't sound stable but was very sturdy.)

We used pa>lol well sadly I am my only quilting buddy... except for you all of course
