ALL LAYERED UP

                                 "Sailing into the Future" is finally layered up,
                                 on my dining room table ready to be pinned....

[ I am sure a lot of you use and know this method below--so you
                   can skip it all if you want, I won't take offense ;))) ]

For my non-quilting followers here is what I do:

I spent the first part of this morning "frankensewing" those batting
strips I had previously cut  for QAYG; and since I could not see 👀👀 
how I could  do a continuous quilting pattern 
when it was set up that way--
I sewed them with a 3-step zig zag
stitch (thank you Wanda for that tip on your blog--
it worked so much better than the regular z-z stitch)   ;))))

Got it ready to pin                    Using this method:↡↡↡↡ {below}

       I spent the next 1/2 hour on my knees crawling around the batting
to smooth it out and to figure out the center points on either end before
layering (smoothing, shifting etc. still on the knees) the blue top over
the batting....ready to roll up....

Sit down, breathe...👵

(pause for a rest hahaha--that's my Grand-mere's old canning jar 
up there that I use to store my quilting safety pins--
the curved ones--- and I just  LOVE 💓 that Kwik Klip tool--- 
it saves my fingers for sure)

OKAY--now back to work..;)))
Then....
I centered the backing, wrong side up, on my dining table over my blocking
pad (left over from my sweater blocking days when I used to knit a lot) 
making sure it was really flat....
Then...

Back on the floor (oof-dah) to roll up the now layered batting and front 
together...
before placing
it onto the backing and unrolling it evenly...

PHEW!! Crawling on the floor is for "young folk" for sure!! 👵👾

A cuppa tea is in order and a little square of a brownie..yum
a gal needs some energy food after this!!
