Basting LynneBob

I got my lynnebobsquarepants basted yesterday.  After seeing loads of pictures recently on Instagram (I am sewonderfulife by the way) of people basting on their kitchen/dining tables, I decided to give it a go


It was the easiest quilt I have ever basted.  I can definitely recommend.  My table isn't big enough for a whole quilt, but it draped over the sides and all went together beautifully.
Now I just keep looking at pictures to decide how to quilt it: I want to hand quilt.  I started last night but didn't like what I did so will be unpicking.
hank you to the overwhelming number of comments on my Sew Mama Sew giveaway.  I have looked at so many of the places that people have suggested and my travel wish list has just got soooo much longer!
