I finally got around to basting my gray and yellow quilt! I don't have any hard surfaces in my apartment except my tiny kitchen and tiny bathroom, so I decided to take my quilt here:
The basement of my building, where my office is also located! I felt a little silly carrying a Swiffer and all of my various supplies across the Arts Quad, but hey, it worked. It was so much easier than trying to do it on carpet! A few of my fellow grad students wandered by and were very interested in what on earth I was doing crouched in front of the pop machine. :)
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Pin It
The things we do in the name of quilting ;) I think you should have enlisted some of the grad students to help you put all those pins in! In the name of research of something hehehe!
