I am working on my first large quilt- 85" x 85". It is a 9 block quilt made up of 3 columns with 3 rows, the middle column being slightly larger than the other two.
My question is whether I need to pin all nine blocks before I begin quilting from the center block out. It will take an insane amount of pins to do the entire quilt, but only 1/3rd the amount to just pin the first section. I plan to do channel quilting with a walking foot. Each block has a different channel direction (top/botton, left diagonal, right diagonal, etc.)
There are so many experienced quilters on this site, I wanted to get your opinions.
Thanks for your help!
