Let the pin basting begin!

Everything was layered and smoothed so I could start pin basting the homespun quilt. I got the three bottom rows pin basted so I could untape and trim the backing then drop the table leaf. Now I can reach the center to pin basted.

I have 5 spools of Raffia colored King Tut and that is what I will quilt this with.

I spent some time last evening looking for my measurements and drawings that I used to make the zippered tote bags back in April. Here are three out of the four I made.

I haven't found the measurements and my drawings yet. When I made them back in April, I put tape down on my big table with the size and letter that showed on my drawing where the piece went.  As I cut pieces, I laid them next to the tape so I could keep the pieces organized.

Those help some, but I tried to coordinate those measurements with the actual tote, and some were not making sense. I have one more place to look. Let's hope I find the measurements and drawings in that pile. The good thing was I did get a bit more straightening up done as I was looking.
