Same with me. I don't pin too much when piecing the block, but when joining blocks, rows, etc that have seams that need to match up, I definitely do. If I don't, I usually get to do some unsewing and resewing, which I HATE!

Plain squares or rectangles, I don't. Quite often I will when working with triangles. I do on the cornerstones, but not always on sashing or borders. It just depends whether there will be stretching or not, and if I need to match or not.

Only borders --measure center of quilt- cut to size--pin center, quarters, ends. I get to many quilts with "ruffled" (lettuce edges) not to. I find if I cut square/straight--- sew even seams-- no need to pin.
