I'm guessing that vintage sheet might have had some polyester in it. Or, my other go-to problem is usually taping the backing down well. Lots of tape, with very little of the raw edges of the backing showing. Also, I'm a fiend for over-pinning. You can never have too many pins holding a quilt top together, in my opinion. Just think. You're moving the whole thing to a sewing machine to quilt. Makes you want to use a lot of pins! It's a darling quilt top. I hope it comes together now. As for the pillow, it's great! You're a speedy hand quilter! I'm impressed with what you manage to accomplish while working full time!

I had a quilt with lots of diagonal pieces that was very 'shifty' and the ironed glue basting did the trick. Hope it goes better for you too. x x Kirsty @ Bonjour Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177991521347107396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230998891034875551.post-33182186055656206892016-03-28T15:25:35.506+11:002016-03-28T15:25:35.506+11:00Polyester batting is not a girls best friend - I a...Polyester batting is not a girls best friend - I am a staunch cotton supporter for this exact reason.

It can bring your the momentum to a grinding halt. Your quilt is so cheerful though it will work out eventually and be beautiful. Sometimes it's just best to switch to another project for awhile. That way something moves forward even if it's not what we set out to do.Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230998891034875551.post-62085846560853620972016-03-28T09:23:15.716+11:002016-03-28T09:23:15.716+11:00Basting quilts is my least favourite task, good lu...Basting quilts is my least favourite task, good luck with your next attempt.
