Quilt Progress- Quilt Sandwich

Hiya

If you follow me on Facebook then you would know that I was in the process of finishing a quilt top. Here are the pictures of me putting together the quilt sandwich.

Quilt Back

Adding the batting

Now the Quilt Top... Now my sandwich is complete

 So I put together the three parts: Quilt Back, Batting and Quilt Top. To secure the Quilt backing I used painters tape.

TIP: Do no put the painters tape on the batting... It will come off with the tape

Once finished I pinned the pieces together using safety pins. Then I began basting my quilt starting from the middle outwards.

Today is Thursday, I am doing this quilt for Saturday and my walking foot is not working.

Wish me luck.
