Try 505 spray baste instead of pins. It really works no puckers.
Trying to convince myself to quilt my first quilt (by machine-scared to death I'll get a lot of puckkering on the back side, have the walking foot and have pin basted it, I just seem to low on nerve fuel 
) am also planning my second one, it is called Ribbons from and older book for beginners my gdaughter fournd in a good will store. The first is my own design, and appliqued for my five year old ggrandson I think I will call it "busy quilt for a busy boy" that seems like a long name for most that I have seen but it fits the design and the boy.

A fairly young guy in our parish died recently leaving behind 2 adult sons and 5 younger daughters. I'm making pillow cases for the gals for 12th day of Christmas gifts. (Today is the 3rd, Ephipainy is the 6th!)
translate that as I need to get off here.

I was going to start knitting...I have been buying needles...but shocked on how much yarn cost and how much is needed. I never had any idea that it was that expensive. I went to a thrift shop today everything is donated for the dogs in need...and many people donate. One person donated 3 beautiful afgans, after seeing how much it would cost me to make...I bought one for 10.00 - its beautiful so sad people have no idea how much it cost to make these not including time.

Working on a quilt that someone is buying! I did one for a silent auction and church and she didn't win so asked me to make one - I quoted a price that I thought was on the high end - but she is fine with it. Also a quilt for a silent auction that raises money for clothing for children.
