Garage Floor

Bob cleaned out the garage and swept the floor  and we rolled out some leftover carpet pad pieces.  We cut and taped the carpet pad to make a huge square, and laid the quilt sandwich out on that.  It was quite nice to kneel on that and pin the quilt!   My granddaughter, Kaylyn, helped me pin, and it made the usually tedious job enjoyable.  Only problem was that we didn't want the foam pad to be pinned to the sandwich so that did slow us way down.  But the job is done, and I have started to QUILT this monster!  Only have it quartered (stitch in the ditch) so far, no fancy stuff yet.  It is a very heavy quilt and I found that I can quilt it better if I stand at the sewing machine instead of sit.  Better leverage and better view.  At least it fits under the sewing machine!  From now on I need to make SMALLER quilts, or get a larger kitchen floor!
