Yes, basting stitch is easy to rip out, but not nearly durable enough for piecing a quilt you will want to last for a long time, through much tugging, washing, etc. Small stitches for quilt piecing... always. You can make them a little bigger for quilting, but not for piecing. No wonder your seams were coming apart.
