Sunday Sandwich

I made two goals last week to help me get my latest quilt done, and I met both of them.  Today's goal was to make the sandwich.

I usually make my sandwiches on the kitchen floor, but this quilt is too big.  I had to go down to the basement and move rugs and furniture out of the way.  After getting all the layers in order, I crawled around on a cement floor for over an hour putting in the safety pins.  

Two things made it a not-terrible task.  

1. The symmetry of the block sizes allowed for a pleasing and orderly grid placement of nine pins in each big rectangle, with three in the small ones.
2. HGTV blaring away in the background.
