Thanks. Quilt shop people look at me in horror and tell me I can't to that! Will definitely try it on my next quilt. Am finishing up 1st one--sisterhood of quilters girlfriends quilt.
I forgot to mention my first quilt is also all hand pieced queen size sampler and it is holding up just fine, 23 years later. If you quilt all your blocks in a 1/4. that stablizes the seams too. You should be fine.
