Any ideas how to do this without the quilt puckering as I work from center out to the edges? Not certain that pin basting will be enough.

    Thanks for your ideas!

    How big is it? If it's too big, it may pucker anyway, simply because it is normal for the quilt to draw up 1-3 inches when being quilted.[/quote

    Size - it's 60" x 56"....and I've been considering tying as a quilting option. It would get it done fast and still hold together well. I intend to run the edge through my machine so it looks like binding and has a more finished look.

    I think tying it would be your best bet and you wouldn't have to worry about the quilt being drawn up and puckering.

    This is all I have completed. I have a long way to go if I plan on getting all of mine completed by the end of the year.

    I am working on several UFO's at a time. Have already finished one at a retreat early in Jan. Does that count?
