Yes, definitely. Early on my quilting addiction (yes, I said addiction - but what a way to go!!) my friend and I made a Storm at Sea quilt to be raffled by my church. I was to put all the blocks together and thee was a distinct difference and I had problems with puckering, etc. After that if I worked on a quilt, I pieced it, people could help me cut, but only one person could make the quilt top - that worked out so much better and much less frustrating. It's something that you will only do once. The quilt did make quite a bit of money for the church, which was nice, but after that I insisted on putting the blocks/piecestogether.
