I GOT THIS FAR......


                                    .....AND THEN YE OLD BACK WENT OUT!!

  SO, the backing is sewn together--all Christmas-ey
 and the top is rolled and waiting to be laid out tomorrow--

 AND then it's.......................

                                                             PIN PIN PIN 

 Here is a little teaser of the reverse side of that center panel: LOL
        
                                           IT IS SOOOO  DARN CUTE!!  

 Even though my dining table isn't really wide enough, it is pretty long and the best spot
                                            [that is NOT on the FLOOR] ;--)))
 for me to layer my quilts.  I use Elizabeth Hartman's method of rolling the top and the batting together ....it works for me....

 And so now I am off to ice my back and to do today's crossword puzzle....

 Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse (layer-euse)

    Hope your back recovers quickly so you can get to pinning and then to quilting.

    Pinning a quilt top can be so hard on your back. I hope you feel better soon.

    This looks so nice and it´s clever to use a table. I sit on the floor and, yes, it´s not good for my back either.

    So sorry about your back, but hope all is better now. Could you elaborate on the method of rolling the batting and top together? Do you unroll it as you pin it?
