I'm preparing to hand quilt for the first time. I have my quilt sandwich already basted with safety pins and I was just reading that people use a 1/2 or 5/8 inch seam allowance when piecing the backing. I sewed mine with 1/4 inch seam allowances. The backing is 3 pieces...1 the width of fabric minus the salvages and the two outside pieces are 1/2 the width of fabric. Do you think I should go to the trouble of removing pins and resewing with larger seam allowances or will it be okay?

Thanks in advance!
