Pinning the Graduation Quilt

As I get older, pinning a quilt on the floor is harder and nearly impossible for me.  I had my daughter pin my quilts for me in exchange for me quilting her quilts, and this suited both of us.  However, Alayna's graduation quilt has to be done before the end of May, and I will not be seeing my daughter before then.  That means I have to pin it myself.

I watched some YouTube videos.  Ya gotta LOVE YouTube!  You can learn anything there, and see it as it happens, pause the video as often as needed, try it out, watch more.  Watch, do, repeat!  I watched different videos about pinning quilts on a table top.  Using clamps.  I can do that!  So I laid out my quilt sandwich layers on my kitchen table, clamping each layer, and it was nice and tight and easy to pin. 

 

I could sit down to pin, and move easily around the table on a rolling chair!  Most of the quilt actually fit, and I could pin the remaining border sections afterwards.  For once, something went right the first time!
