Farm/Chicken Quilt

I've purchased some new fabric to take the farm animal quilt to the next level. I'm going to use a solid tan floral print for the backing. I'm going to use the green leaf material to block the animals into a field. I think I want to try a large leaf quilting pattern in the border.

The backing looks really bad!
I decided to use 2 LARGE tables to help me layout the quilt. I didn't tape down the backing. It wrinkled up REALLY badly.

I used cotton batting. (not cheap)and I used spray basting. It is holding the quilt together well. I went ahead and started quilting it even though I wanted to scrap the whole thing.

Hopefully tomorrow will go better.
