BASTING A QUILT

 I thought I'd try basting a quilt fully before quilting it on the longarm.  It took a couple hours.  

I'm curious if this will make any difference and help keep it straight and square.


This is "Redstone Lamp" quilt.  It was made back around 1998-9.  We had done a Red Swap at Pieces.  Each participant would contribute a bunch of red 6" squares and we'd trade so everyone ended up with a bunch of different fabrics.  Then, I think we did a red and white exchange, too.  This quilt was one of the one's I made with the reds. The other being "Red Love"  which was donated to the folks in California that lost everything to wildfires.  I hope it found a good home.  Hopefully I can find this one a good home, too.
