Pin Basting -- Done!

This huge quilt is basted! I am so pleased. I pieced the back to include two "mistake" blocks plus some IKEA fabric, then I did the crawl-around-on-my-hands-and-knees thing. Quilting is hard work!

I even have a plan for the quilting. . . . Follow the curves on the colored sections, then go back to the whites with bubbles. I hope it works! The batting is Hobbs 100% wool. I'll need to add quilting lines in the colored sections, as it will need to be denser to satisfy the "three inch" suggestion on the package

The top measured 98 x 73 inches. I'll re-measure when the quilting is finished.
