For the past month, I've been planning to take this quilt with me to work and stay late one night to baste it using a conference room table instead of my living room floor.
It didn't happen.
I spent my Sunday crawling around on the floor basting the double wedding ring.
I decided on traditional thread basting rather than pins or spray baste since I'm doing this on a hoop as a lap quilt.
My big challenge is to keep from over-quilting. I'm starting with outlining the rings while I decide what modern looking quilting I'll do in the centers. Any ideas?

Did Mitzi help you baste?
I'm casting my vote for filler feathers.
Thanks for the charm squares; they're lovely!
