LAYERING FRANKEN-QUILT

                        Here is Franken-Quilt ready to be pinned...


First, I sewed the music fabric long strips on the backing this morning....
                                                      ↡↡↡
Ironing all the seams open so they wouldn't peek through
the white...and trimming evenly

Then got my batting out--and
of course!! 
It was too small...phooey!!--so I cut a long 7"x 43.5" strip to the side
to make it long enough....zig-zagged it on and....
                                voila..just right!!
                                           ;))))

I had to get on the floor ---oof!--- 
(AND you do NOT need to see THAT picture believe me!) :'000

and  laid out the batting; and measured the
half way points on all my pieces...

Then I rolled the batting and the top together 
so I could then unroll it in place on the backing 
sitting, smoothed out on my dining table....

Phew--that's all for me today....

Tomorrow I will begin my pinning....

That's all from "Franken-ville" today lol
