Default Should I baste instead

I'm in the process of sandwiching a Q size quilt (80x103) using a 2x4 table. I laid my backing down, clamped it on all sides and made sure it was taut. I then laid the batting down which was very soft and pliable (not stiff from being in the package) and then the top and pulled it taut and reclamped. I then started pinning. Each churn dash square is 12". Each square is pinned with 9 quilting #3 pens. When I turn the quilt over to look at the back, it's all "puffy". Would it be better to baste each square (from corner to corner and then length and width)? I'm going to hand quilt which I've done several times already but for some reason this one is giving me a "fit". HELP!!!!
