On Basting in a Small Space

The baby quilts are pieced and ready to be basted. The flannel backing fabric has been washed and dried (2x) and pieced, after investigation proved that it had shrunk more than I hoped (though less than I feared.) New green fabric has been purchased for binding, since I had to go to the store to buy extra backing fabric anyway, and since making the binding was going to wipe out my stash of really excellent leaf-greens entirely. I like the people these quilts are for, but not enough to denude my stash of excellent leaf-green fabrics.
