Quilting Begins

First, make the sandwich. Spread out the backing on the floor, right-side down. Next comes the batting and then the top, right-side up. Pin every few inches to hold everything together. This can be back-breaking work, so I did some random pinning and then took the whole thing to the cutting table to work on. Now decide where exactly to quilt. I'll quilt right along the seam line around each square. Because the piece is so big, I had to roll up the side that was under the sewing machine arm and clip it together. Now, just sew, sew, sew.
