life with safety pins

After I got the piecing done, I really wanted to start quilting.  It helps to keep me sane because there is nothing sane about the part of my day or week that is called work.  Time to baste.  I laid the backing and the batting out next to my smaller open water row boat.

Then came the top.  This quilt is going to travel halfway across the world.  It will be gifted to a very little girl.  She has not been born yet.

A couple hours of working with safety pins in a bit of sun and I am ready to start quilting.  More time on my sewing machine.  More sanity.
