As pleased as I am with my revsible Wonky Stars throw, it turned out to be a beast to baste. I knew it would be challenging to line up an identically sized top and back but I did not think it would be that hard. I spent a good three hours trying to get it right at the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild Sit and Sew Evening (in my case Stand and Baste) but all I did was pin it together and undo it four times. On the Sunday I decided I needed to anchor four seam joins and go from there rather than try to line up the edges (yes Rachel, I should have taken your advice the first time around!). So it is done now and the red outline quilting is under way, but it's a slow process and there is no way it will be finished for the birthday next weekend. But then again, it's no fun getting all your presents at once, is it?
