Basting Day
I finished the quilt top for the quilt that I'm working on for my cousin's bridal shower. So yesterday was basting day. Basting is not the most exciting part of making a quilt and I generally go to my parents' house to do it because they have much bigger floor spaces for me to use. I was a lucky quilter yesterday because my dad offered to pitch in and help me attach the 150 or so safety pins to the quilt. Was that nice, or what! :-) It really made the whole process go much quicker and today I am on to the quilting phase. Being that I am leaving Friday for the shower, there will not be any room for dilly dallying. I can't wait to see it completed! It's kind of hard to see the patterns from far away, so if you click on the photos you'll get a better idea of what it looks like. :-)

Nice colours, and nice father too. That´s not the funniest bit...
I love that your dad helped with the basting! What a sweet guy :) The quilt looks great!
You did a wonderful job on the quilt. Nice color choices.
What a great dad! I think my dad would help too but I don't think he would let me take a pic of him doing it! :)
I want you to lend me your dad, wasn't that nice....
