I have done it several times and have tried several methods. I always STID around all of the squares and borders. I also stitch 1/8 inch around the outside perimeter of the quilt. Then, because there will be no more shifting I cut away all the outside excess. Then I begin my quilting within each square of section. I work on one square at a time and it does not matter if I start in the middle or somewhere else because of the stabilization at the beginning. Kings and queens are possible with a bit of planning.
