Besides going in the direction you've shown, are you going to go in opposite direction too? For more stability of that batting, so it doesn't migrate into lumps after wear and washings.......just a thought....

Love your quilt... so many beautiful fabrics!
I never hesitate to remove pins and smooth the quilt out as I go, if it looks like it needs it. I use a poly batting that does shift... but I love the end result!

yup, I had planned to quilt in the opposite direction....that way there will be little wavy edged squares about 3 inches a side. And now that I know it's possible for things to shift a little, I don't need to panic if it happens.

I looked at it this morning and it looks good, all the wrinkles and other concerns gone. It must have been just working on it for so long. Last night I folded it and put a sheet on it to keep all the pet hair off. I took some pics anyway. Batting is Quilters Dream 80/20, and I did use loads of clamps to hold it while sandwiching.

I follow Harriet Hargrave's directions, going all seams in one direction, from the middle out, then turning it completely around (180 deg )and do the same again. Then turn it 90 degrees and do the same. First though she outs one big cross top to bottom and left to right, just to anchor it. Your way sure is a lot of work!
" Also, did you always sew in the same direction? You should be sewing one row one way and the next row in the opposite direction."
