I have always done it this way and have never had wavy borders etc. I start pinning in the middle and work to both ends. Then, sew from top to bottom. Occasional I will start sewing in the middle to the end and that works just fine also.

(I don't want to say right or wrong!) Would love advice on which method produces a better quilt. Thanks
