If I'm understanding you correctly you are sewing the top, bottom and batting together around the outside edge than turning it inside out. This is called birthing or pillowcase style. It is difficult to do this and not get tucks. Click on this search results and you will find the "sandwich" and basting method then you quilt the quilt and put on binding.

Hi, and welcome from West Virginia.
It looks like the backing was a little bit larger than the top. Did you use a walking foot or even feed foot? I think you said you didn't pin much. The backing also looks to be of slightly thinner fabric than the top. That can make it more stretchy.
