Therefore, I must baste.
This is what Shelby did most of the time. After Christmas with the nephews, she needed it.
I even guilted my poor husband in to helping for a few hours yesterday morning. He was a good sport. Though, he did call himself a wimp after his hand kept cramping up from closing safety pins.Yep, quilting is not for wimps. As a matter of fact, I would consider basting 12 quilts in a day and a half an aerobic activity.
Yeah, I know there are only 11 quilts pictured. I forgot to snap a picture of one. You'll see it later when it's quilted...maybe in a couple of years.

I feel like a slug compared to you...
My goodness that's alot of quilt tops! Your hubby deserves a medal for helping you out.
Girl, you have been busy and are going to be busy.
Take that hubby of yours out for a special night on the town. He is a good guy.
The SPEED BASTER strikes again!!!
(I'm tired just thinking about all that!)All that, and Christmas too...how do you do it?
Yes, you've been busy!!! Love all the quilts, especially that batik one!!!!! Glad you're making big progress.
Oh...my...goodness. I can't even imagine. I bought some fusible batting this week. Have you tried it? I haven't but I thought it was worth a shot. blessings, marlene
What beautiful quilts. My back wouldn't have held out to get 12 done in one day. You must be in pretty good shape.
12 tops basted...just getting 12 to that stage is about 5 years work for me...and they are all great! Glad you got a little help. Maybe Shelby can learn to close pins with her teeth!
As I looked at the photos before I read the text I thought it was a show and tell from a group!
And then I read the text.
What an accomplishment - and now that they are basted before you know it they will all be quilted.
