I leave my quilt top in three sections, each marked in the upper left corner with one, two and three safety pins for orientation. After completely piecing together the back,, I cut batting a couple of inches larger than the center section of the quilt top. I lay the batting in the center of the backing, add the center top (with two safety pins in its upper left corner), and pin baste. Then I roll up the excess backing top and bottom. The center section fits in the harp as easily as a table runner. I quilt no closer than an inch from the edge. When finished, I sew the upper quilt top section to the center section, using the safety pin for orientation. Then I hand baste (gasp!) another batting piece in place with giant herringbone stitches, smooth the quilt top section in place, baste, and quilt, with the previously quilted section off to the left. So again, there is little more bulk in the harp than a table runner.<br />Keep on quiltin'<br />Carol cwoosley12@yahoo.comBees Knees Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018513406059803134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-17683652689550949862016-01-12T20:07:04.399-06:002016-01-12T20:07:04.399-06:00Wonderful log cabins and you have given me the ide...Wonderful log cabins and you have given me the idea of how to use my short lengths which have been languishing in a box for ages!
