Boston is pinned

It took 2 days, but the Boston quilt is pin basted. It was quite a job getting the pins through some of the thick areas….lots of fusible and layers. I had to pin around some of the really thick areas. This was the first time I had to use a spoon to help with the basting. 

In this photo you can see the fossil fern blue fabric that I picked for the backing of the quilt. This will surely show all of my quilting. 

So with all the bending over my cutting table for 2 days my SI joint hurts today. Hopefully that settles in a couple of days. Meanwhile I’ll work on the Halloween quilt so I won’t be hunched over my machine quilting the Boston quilt and aggravating it more than it already is aggravated. I can’t even do quilting things without injury! So it’s sitting on my cutting table waiting for quilting. The first thing I will quilt is the outline of all the buildings. 

Thanks for reading.
