And I'm a 40 something lawyer/quilter and we have the same haircut (and same color).

The boards are 8 feet by 4 feet and if the quilt is too large for one, I lay a second next to it. I pin the quilt right to the edge on two sides and then use a tape measure and square to do the other two sides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9393658.post-53452343050510152572007-02-24T05:54:00.000-08:002007-02-24T05:54:00.000-08:00Beautiful!

Unfortunately I don't have a single place large enough to do this without moving significant furniture. The only places even remotely big enough have hardwood floors. Any ideas for an alternate method for me?Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9393658.post-62969982493547275412007-02-23T12:38:00.000-08:002007-02-23T12:38:00.000-08:00Hi Diane.

I've never blocked a quilt...guess I've been lucky not to have one that's very distorted...before I put on the binding. But I'll put this idea in the bank for future reference!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861470381511685079noreply@blogger.com
